- Individuals matter and it is important that each person feels valued.
- Everyone is equal – we have no preconceptions of visitors.
- Pupils are encouraged to have respect for each other, the farm animals and farmer’s property, as well as for the diversity of life found in the surrounding farmland and countryside.
- Every living thing, however small, has a part to play and should be valued.
- Pupils are encouraged to take turns, listen to each other and share resources.
- We aim to make pupils feel good about themselves through the use of praise and encouragement.
- We make sure that sessions at the centre are tailored to meet the needs of individual groups and pupils.
