'School Values Certificates' September 2025

Today we celebrated September’s 'School Values Certificates' acknowledging the super efforts by our children. We will continue this year to choose children from each class for the 'School Values Certificate' to recognise those who have demonstrated one, or many, of the school values with particular focus this month on ‘dedication’. 

A values-based education creates a positive learning environment that enhances academic achievement and develop social and relationship skills that will last throughout our children’s lives. It supports the development of the whole child as a reflective learner within a happy, safe and nurturing environment.

Our core values are strongly connected to Derrychrin that serve to inspire and anchor the whole school community. They are always visible and tangible with a meaningful purpose in the context of school life and personal lives. Individual thoughts, choices, behaviours and actions in any given situation are underpinned by our core values and it creates a unified school community where everyone feels a deep sense of belonging and purpose. 

Well done to the children who were first to receive the certificates for September and we look forward to acknowledging many more of our pupils in the school year ahead. We hope they will experience a sense of satisfaction and achievement, thereby increasing their confidence, self respect and willingness to persevere.
