Ethos & Values

Innovate - Collaborate - Celebrate

At Turner Free School, our ethos and values run through everything we do.


We innovate: we think creatively, we look for solutions and we have the courage to do things differently

We collaborate: we work together, we listen to each other, and we trust in ourselves and each other

We celebrate: we recognise and celebrate our success and that of others


Through our character curriculum, we focus on explicitly teaching the interpersonal skills which are so important to our pupils’ success beyond school.

Pupils are rewarded and recognised for their positive contributions to our school culture, whether that be through their academic work, their daily interactions or their extra-curricular community engagement. We will share these successes with parents and carers so that they can be celebrated at home too.
