Our Values

Tolerance

At Danesgate we are all  different, all here for different reasons and we accept difference.  We study and discuss all types of bullying, homophobia and racism.

 

Democracy

At Danesgate our pupils have a say on our student council.  Everyone has a voice.

 

Individual liberty

When things are not going well, we can talk about it and find a way to work it out.  We have choices.

 

Mutual Respect

We are a team and have to work together.  Staff and students have to treat each other with respect.  Our key statement is ‘Polite and Friendly’

 

 

Rule of Law

We all need to be good citizens in Danesgate and the local community. We study what that means when visitors talk about their role in the community.
