WEARING OUR SCARF WITH PRIDEAt Lees Primary School, we believethat children thrive in a positiveenvironment, where they areencouraged, praised and feel safe.Lees recognises the enormouslyprivileged position it holds within thelocal community in preparing thechildren to become citizens oftomorrow.Lees is a SCARF school which means we follow ahigh quality PSHE curriculum designed by leadingchildren’s charity, Coram Life Education. TheSCARF values of Safety, Caring, Achievement,Resilience and Friendship are central to our PositiveBehaviour Policy and underpin everything we do as aschool. It is our belief that to treat childrenpositively, by praising them and offeringencouragement for the things they do well, is themost successful approach for nurturing life-longlearners. We promote the positive values of SCARF,in all school activities and this ensures that thechildren attending Lees Primary School are safe,caring, achieve the best that they can, and areresilient and friendly.
