Mutual Respect – SGA Academy Oldham

MUTUAL RESPECT

Respect is defined simply as, “treating others as we wish to be treated.” This is evidenced in the charity work and community service projects our pupils undertake for the benefit of people who are experiencing the effects of food poverty, loneliness and isolation; our zero-tolerance approach to bullying; the strong sense of community and camaraderie felt by all of our pupils; and the high standards that characterise our teaching and learning environments.

Pupils are encouraged to communicate openly and honestly, and to listen to – and respect – the views of others, even in instances where disagreements arise. We expect all pupils in leadership roles, as well as our staff members, to model exemplary behaviour and conduct themselves in a manner that commands the respect worthy of someone in a position of authority. Assemblies and class work are designed to highlight the diverse nature of British society and the right for each person to be respected for their choices. Our friendly environment encourages compassionate, open-mindedness and acceptance.
