Core Values and Beliefs

Te Tikanga: Our School Teaching Beliefs
The five koru represent unfolding growth

Foundation Skills to be in place
Basic literacy and numeracy are the foundation skills that all other learning is built on.


Students as Learners
Students need to develop the key competencies and the habits of mind required to thrive in a fast changing future world. They need to develop all their talents and gifts.


Teachers as Learning Activators
Teachers will ensure all students develop both foundation and future skills and their particular talents so as to achieve their personal best – to always try to better their best.


Teachers to introduce challenging learning  experiences
To inspire learners and to provide opportunities for students to develop their talents and gifts.


Classrooms to inform and celebrate student creativity
To provide safe predictable places to ensure all students know what, where, why, how and when.

Core Values and Beliefs
These are the core values and beliefs on which Frankley School bases its STRATEGIC PLAN and day-to-day operations.  They are the VALUES important for our pupils, parents and staff. They encompass our practices and decision-making and we are accountable for their enactment.
