At Goonhavern School, we are proud to be a nurturing, forward-thinking school rooted in high expectations, strong relationships, and a love of learning. Everything we do is underpinned by two key pillars: our School Rules and our School Values.

Our School Rules

Simple. Clear. Shared by all.
These three rules guide how we work, play and grow together every day:

• Be Ready – prepared to learn, willing to try, open to challenge.

• Be Respectful – of ourselves, each other, and our environment.

• Be Safe – in our choices, our actions, and our words.

These expectations help every child feel calm, focused and included—ready to thrive.

Our School Values

At Goonhavern, we build not only knowledge but also character. Our five values guide how we learn and live—together and independently:

• Resilience – we bounce back, try again and keep going even when things are tough.

• Collaboration – we listen, share, and achieve more by working together.

• Creative Thinking – we explore, question, and solve problems with imagination.

• Self-Improvement – we reflect, grow and always look for our next step forward.

• Responsibility – we take ownership of our actions, learning and community.

These values are woven into our curriculum, celebrated in assemblies, and visible in everyday interactions across school life.

Our Commitment

We are here to help your child become a confident, curious, compassionate citizen of the future. We want them to leave us with the skills to succeed, the values to guide them, and the belief that they can shape their world.

At Goonhavern Primary School, we prepare your child not just for the next stage of education—but for life.
