OUR VISION

READY FOR TOMORROW'S WORLD

Our School provides an education which encourages academic excellence, global connectivity and social responsibility, through which we seek to create well balanced individuals who aspire to be active and conscious citizens of the future.

Our ‘one learning’ community enables pupils across all years to collaborate, discover, learn and achieve together in an environment which promotes respect for each other’s rights, needs and abilities. This is demonstrated through our values of kindness, tolerance, respect, equality, perseverance and courage.

TOLERANCE

Being patient, understanding and accepting of different opinions, beliefs and cultures.

RESPECT

Respecting each other and our environment, embracing our differences and celebrating individuality.

EQUALITY

Ensuring that every individual has an equal opportunity to make the most of their lives and talents.

COURAGE

The courage to know what they want to achieve, to strive to do the best they can in the world and to speak out when it matters.

PERSEVERANCE

TO ACHIEVE OUR MISSION WE SEEK :

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE

To inspire academic excellence through achievement, we empower our pupils to aspire higher and to work to the best of their academic ability.

Encouraging perseverance, autonomy, agency and mastery, pupils develop inquisitive minds and a life-long love of learning.

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

To develop the character in our children to 'Be Well, Learn Well, Live Well', in which kindness, consideration and a confident awareness of themselves and others reveals young people of real character, resilience and independence.

Prepared to face the opportunities and challenges of an ever-changing world, our pupils are equipped with the emotional intelligence required to act responsibly on their beliefs so as to build a strong community around them.

FUTURE READY

We ensure our pupils are ready for tomorrow’s world. Our commitment to an innovative and forward-thinking STEAM curriculum and mastery of digital literacy provides our pupils with the future ready skills for the 21st Century workplace.

This includes: creative problem solving, critical thinking, collaboration, leadership, and entrepreneurship; the foundations required to build a bright and inspiring future for all.

GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE

To inspire a global perspective, we nurture in our pupils a deep sense of social responsibility, encouraging them to care for the world around them, live sustainably, value different perspectives and to give back to the community.

Where service to others is lived through pupil voice and action, pupils learn to lead a life fulfilled.

Pupils look after each other and demonstrate very high levels of care and friendship.
