St Michael’s School in Reading take part in 'Values Day'

Held St Michael’s along Dee Road on Monday, October 21, the day saw students learn about respect, kindness, aspiration, perseverance, and appreciation.

Children and staff communicated the value which is most important to them by wearing the school's chosen associated colours, for example, blue for respect.

Headteacher Aimee Crofts said: “The day was a great success and a start to the children learning about the values chosen by the school community; the children commented on how much fun it was learning about our new values.”

On the day, several activities were arranged to help the students learn about the school’s chosen values.

Published poet, A. F Harold, was invited to share his work with the children in the aspiration workshop.
