Our school motto is Proud to Belong.

This relates to every area of school life – learning, teaching, behaviour, environment and atmosphere.

It means that every member of our school goes that “extra mile” to make the school the best it can be.

Southmead has a diverse community; all major world faiths are represented, and all cultures valued.

We have adopted 11 moral values which provide common understanding in school, and a framework from which to work in creating a cohesive atmosphere.

The values are broken down into a particular “Value of the Month” and provide a focus for assemblies and some parts of the curriculum.

Our Values of the Month:

 September – Respect

October – Friendship

November – Unity

December – Peace

January – Honesty

February – Thoughtfulness

March – Courage

April – Compassion

May – Confidence

June – Co-operation

July – Appreciation
