The TSM Valves
Since September 2013, our classes are named after inspirational characters in Britain and around the world. Our aim is that children at our school learn and take on those values which made those characters successful. Children will journey their way through the school spending time on traits which we feel as a school, are essential for a truly well-rounded individual. We know that to succeed in life you need more than just Literacy and Maths ability, you need the personality, confidence and character to sell yourself and cope with the highs and lows of life.

A Whole School Approach
What is Go-Givers?
Go-Givers is an SMSC programme (Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural) for Primary and Middle Schools. The programme focuses on raising standards across the curriculum by stimulating children’s imaginations, developing empathy and providing opportunities for critical thinking and problem solving.
Who is Go-Givers for?
The Go-Givers website is divided into three-parts with sections for teachers, parents and children.
The Teachers’ section contains over 150 lessons. They enhance pupils’ learning across the curriculum, and are complemented by assembly plans, a suite of versatile tools for use on the interactive whiteboard, and printable posters and certificates for display in the classroom.
The Parents’ page comprises lots of ideas on how families can help children become caring and concerned young citizens, as well as advice on how to support children with common personal and social problems. They say it takes a village to raise a child. All of us: teachers, parents, neighbours, friends, have a part to play in developing socially and morally responsible children.
The Kids’ Zone is for our young citizens. It includes a compendium of games to help them grapple with moral dilemmas, a toolkit to help with campaigning and opportunities to interact with the Go-Givers characters.
Our fun and engaging Go-Givers animal characters feature in many of our resources, especially in the stories for younger children. They help our learners empathise with others in different situations.
Go-Givers Ethos
Go-Givers is about developing caring and concerned young citizens with the confidence and skills to make a difference to their communities, both locally and globally. Go-Givers helps children understand how societies function and provides opportunities for them to imagine unfamiliar situations and explore attitudes beyond their own. They learn how they can take action in a meaningful way to make the world a better place, as we have witnessed in many schools.
