Ethos & Values

Through setting high standards of academic achievement and delivering an education with character, we strive to bring out ‘the best in everyone’. This ethos, which we share with all United Learning schools, summarises our commitment to ensuring each and every student can thrive.

Secondary school is a time for students to build on the foundations of learning and gain the knowledge, skills and qualifications they need to move on successfully. It is also an opportunity to develop positive qualities and characteristics that will prepare them for life in today’s world. Within our calm and supportive school environment, our young people are therefore encouraged to challenge themselves, succeed through failure and grow in confidence.

Our approach is underpinned by our four core values:

• Respect – for ourselves and others in all that we do;
• Enthusiasm – to seek opportunity, find what is good and pursue talents and interests;
• Ambition - to achieve the best for ourselves and others;
• Determination – to overcome obstacles and reach success.
