Choose Kind
Our approach to promoting positive relationships is via our Choose Kind strategy. This strategy is underpinned by our school values of:
- Commitment
- Trust
- Respect
- Loyalty
- Ambition
We want all young people within Stonelaw to be able to develop respectful, trusting and confident relationships with their peers and adults within our school.
