School Ethos and values

The culture and ethos at Long Calderwood is inspired by the convention of the rights of the child. Rights and responsibilities are at the heart of everything we do and our school motto is: Imagine and achieve This motto has inspired us to create a mural for the dining room wall in our school. We have worked together as a school community to create a set of values, mainly based on the Olympic and Paralympic values.

Value the rights of others and expect the same back.
Confidence
Believe that you are capable and view mistakes as learning opportunities.
Kindness
Treat others with care, respect and thoughtfulness.
Bravery
Have faith to face even the most difficult of challenges.
Determination
