The College works in partnership with Parents and Carers to develop an ethos of ‘positive role models’ by promoting Horizon core values.  Students are encouraged to be ‘Positive role models’ by upholding high standards, making the right choices and helping the College create a sense of community. Staff will consistently seek to provide opportunities to help students develop the core values promoted by the College thus ensuring a safe and inclusive environment in which learning can flourish and prosper. Horizon Core values are promoted through lessons, tutor period, assemblies, displays and Parent/Carer evenings. There is a College wide, weekly focus which is shared with all staff and students.

An effort grade is collected at each data collection throughout the year and reported home to Parents/Carers. Students are assessed on how well they meet the College non-negotiables and how often they demonstrate the relevant core values. Effort grades are analysed by School leadership teams and action is taken where required. There are celebratory opportunities as well as further support options where necessary.

Our non-negotiables for all students in all lessons.
