Values Day

Values Day is an exciting annual fixture in our calendar. It not only provides us with a unique opportunity to reflect upon and promote our eight core values, but it also brings us together as one community: a 3-18, all-through school, from our Little Lyons Nursery right the way up to Sixth Form, to celebrate our wonderful community!

During this year’s Values Day, pupils demonstrated their creativity and innovation by participating in a wide range of activities, including sports, arts, STEAM, and audio-visual activities. They showed great ambition and true excellence by working tirelessly to produce their own songs, banners, sports challenges, and choreographed dance moves. Enquiring, imaginative minds were also fully engaged and stretched by investigating what a drama theatre of the future might look like.

After all these activities, pupils enjoyed values-branded cookies before creating their own noodle dishes and ice cream sundaes with help from our fantastic catering team. A massive thank you to the catering team for preparing a lunch for all that was both delicious and interactive!

During the day, a new section of the 145-heritage bench was unveiled. The bench, designed by Year 9 pupil Milo and Old Lyonian, Umut Yumac (OL 1998), was first presented to the John Lyon community at last year’s Value Day event. Its creation was made possible with the support of the 1876 Fund – a great example of the School’s resolve to continue fostering creativity and excellence.

The day was a great success and we look forward to building on our achievements for next year. n
