The School Charter
The School Charter is provided by The Schools Trust. It establishes the principles upon which the school is founded, guides our direction as we grow, and defines how we measure our success.
Enjoyment
First and foremost, school should be fun. Confident, happy pupils who enjoy their time at school are more likely to succeed at school and in life. We believe that a joyful childhood, filled with curiosity and adventure, provides the foundation for lifelong learning and personal fulfillment.
Academic Achievement
Strong academic achievement is at the core of our mission. Starting with a focus on numeracy and literacy, we encourage and support pupils to achieve to a high level. Excellent academic results and entry to well-regarded universities around the world are expected. We maintain the standards and expectations of leading British independent schools.
A Broad and Challenging Curriculum
We encourage and support pupils to explore pursuits outside academics. While we provide a broad range of opportunities, pupils have the chance to develop a particular interest to a depth and level at which they may excel. Academic learning is complemented by sport, music, drama, art, and outdoor education—all of which are integral, not optional.
Character and Personal Development
A fundamental role of the school is to develop pupils' character. Personal traits we admire, such as curiosity, endeavour, and respect for others, are cultivated in small ways and large through the actions and behaviour modelled by adults every day of school life. We aim to develop young people who are confident, empathetic, and socially aware.
Working at the School
The school is a challenging and rewarding place to work. Calculated risk-taking in pursuit of the development of the school is encouraged. Meaningful professional development is supported. We expect to maintain a reputation as a place to develop one's career, and we recruit staff who bring expertise, commitment, and a genuine care for the pupils they teach.
The Campus
The school campus is developed to provide the space, facilities, and resources to support the educational objectives of the school. We aim to provide a welcoming environment that celebrates pupil achievement. Facilities are of a high quality and are well maintained, reflecting our commitment to providing an excellent learning environment.
