Values

At Adlington Primary School our values are at the heart of all that we do. They underpin our broad and balanced curriculum ensuring that our children become well rounded citizens who make a positive contribution to society.

Every half-term we focus upon one key value, exploring it in detail and considering how we can apply this in our own daily lives and being the change that we wish to see in the world.
