Hi a warm welcome to the site. Do you have a copy of your school's/Nursery setting's Prospectus and its staff handbook? They might also publish the information you're looking for on their website if they have one?

As an example with wording, Hayes Primary school has a webpage dedicated to theirs https://www.thehayesprimaryschool.co...lues-and-aims/

Page 10 & 11 of the STL course book is useful reading

Ethos
This is the spirit of the organisation and its value systemIt should be agreed by all staff and govenors, and may depend on the type of school or college for example, a parochial or faith school may have a more spiritual element to its ethos. It is likely to state the organisation will support pupils to fulfil their potential in all areas. A positiveschool or college ethos is very important as it will have an impact on many areas such as behaviour management, pupil achievement and the ways in which staff and pupils support one another.

Mission
This means the statement outlining what your place of work sets out to do. For example, some colleges might have a mission that sets out to foster 'inspirational learning for all' or 'to inspire outstanding learners to have outstanding futures'.

Aims
The aims of the setting are what it sets out to achieve, for example, 'to create a happy and stable environment in which pupils are able to achieve their best'. They will usually be set by the head teacher, staff and govenors and are often displayed on the website, prospectus and other areas of the school or college.

Values
These should be the things that bring the school together. They may be listed or encompassed in a moto of belief system, for example, respecting one another, achievement for all, celebrating diversity, inspiring ideas. They may also be closely tied with personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education and citizenship in the setting.
These should be reflected in the working practices of staff and communicateds to all those who have contsct with the school. It should be clear to all visitors to the setting that the environment is inclusive, that staff have good relationshis with pupils based on trust and respect.


AC 4.2 Identify ethos, mission, aims and values of your workplace
You should be able to to find out about the ethos, mission, aims and values of your workplace easily as it is important that settings communicate them to parents, staff and pupils. They should also be reflected in the way the school or college is run and in the day-to-day practice of all who work there.

Hope this helps
