The School Charter
The School Charter, set out below, is provided by The Schools Trust. It sets the direction upon which the school grows and measures its success.
-
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.
-
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 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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
