Behaviour for Learning
Great Meols Primary School is committed to creating an environment where exemplary behaviour is at the heart of productive learning. We believe that learners and staff have the right to learn and teach in an environment which is safe, friendly, calm and fair.
Our school mission, ‘Achieving Excellence Together’, sets our belief that all our learners aspire to be the best they can be, to set high goals for themselves and to work hard to achieve these.
Our vision is underpinned by our set of core values: resilience, creativity, diversity, compassion, teamwork and community.
School Rules
Growth Mindset
Introduction
We have started our journey of developing a culture of “Growth Mindset”. Growth Mindset is about about learning to persevere when learning gets tough and understanding that intelligence is not fixed and can be changed through practice and hard work. It is also about understanding that through mistakes some of the best brain growth occurs. The video below explains the concept further.
Key concepts of Growth Mindset at Great Meols Primary School
We remember it’s always OK to make mistakes – we learn from them.

We learn from each other – children often make the best teachers!
We don’t compare ourselves with others, but we do learn from others.
We challenge ourselves – which really helps us make progress.
We take risks – we don’t limit ourselves by taking the easy option.
We join in as much as possible – and we learn much more by being involved.
We remember that mastering something new feels so much better than doing something you can already do.
We remember that the brain is making new connections all the time – the only thing you need to know is that you can learn anything!
