We are Cavendish
Our Cavendish Code-How do we achieve our Mission?
The word CAVENDISH is broken into a number of different words. We use this to help us think about the key skills that we believe our children need to be successful and ready for the next chapter in their life. This is the We are Cavendish campaign. Cavendish stands for:
Below is a table to explain how we incorporate these skills and how they are rewarded. We encourage pupils to think carefully about how they are developing these skills and we record them in our Book of Success. This book follows our children through their school life at Cavendish and is designed to capture their successes and allow them to think about targets for the future.

How this links to lessons and discrete learning. |
How this links to making our pupils ‘ready for the next stage in their life’ |
Collaborators |

Pupils are able to work with their peers and adults to further strengthen their learning and understanding. |
Aspirational |
|
Pupils have aspirations for their future and are driven to achieve those aspirations. |
Visionaries |
|
Our pupils are creative and able to think with an open-mind. They are driven and ambitious. |
Enthusiastic |
|
Pupils are keen to learn and therefore to receptive to new ideas and concepts. |
Nurturing |
|
Our pupils are kind and thoughtful citizens. Pupils are able to express their thoughts and emotions and empathize with those around them. |
Determined |
|
Our pupils do not give up. |
Independent |
They are asked to look up at their learning walls for support, to look down in their books for previous learning. They are then encouraged to look left and right and ask their peers for support, encouraging collaboration. |
Independence allows for further learning opportunities, and encourages our pupils to think for themselves and not be reliant on adult support around them. |
Safe |
|
Our pupils know when they feel safe and what to do if they are in a situation that makes them feel uncomfortable. |
Healthy |
|
We intend for our pupils to be healthy both physically and mentally and therefore ready for the next stage in their life. |
