At Newport Primary School, we believe that every child should have the opportunity to shine.
SHINE is our whole-school framework for behaviour, relationships, character development and personal growth. It provides a shared language that helps children understand how we learn, work together and contribute positively to our school community. Rooted in inclusion, positive relationships and high expectations, SHINE supports our pupils to develop the confidence, responsibility and values needed to succeed both in school and beyond.
Our SHINE Values
🟢 Safe
We make choices that keep ourselves and others safe.
🔵 Helpful
We support, encourage and work together.
🟣 Inclusive
We value everyone and ensure that everybody belongs.
🟠 Nurturing
We show kindness, empathy and care for others.
🟡 Effort
We try our best, persevere and learn from our mistakes.
SHINE and British Values
Our SHINE values are closely aligned with the British Values that underpin life in modern Britain.
Through SHINE, pupils learn about:
- Democracy through pupil voice, leadership opportunities and active participation.
- The Rule of Law through understanding expectations, routines and responsibilities.
- Individual Liberty through making positive choices and taking responsibility for their actions.
- Mutual Respect through positive relationships and treating others with kindness.
- Tolerance of Different Faiths and Beliefs through inclusion, diversity and celebrating what makes each individual unique.
Developing Character and Leadership
SHINE is embedded throughout school life through assemblies, PSHE, daily interactions, educational visits and pupil leadership opportunities. It helps children develop confidence, resilience, empathy, respect, responsibility, independence and leadership skills, preparing them for life beyond Newport Primary School.
Recognising SHINE
We believe that positive choices should be recognised and celebrated.
Pupils who demonstrate our SHINE values may be recognised through:
- SHINE Star Awards
- Celebration Assemblies
- SHINE Postcards Home
- Headteacher Recognition
- Opportunities to become SHINE Ambassadors
By celebrating the behaviours, attitudes and values we want to see, we encourage all pupils to become confident, respectful and responsible members of our school community.
