Aims & Values

---

Our aims are simple:

To ensure for every single student the best possible teaching and the best possible learning so as to

• Develop to the full the potential that they have
• Prepare them as fully as possible for life after school
• Help them grow into mature and responsible adults
• Raise their awareness of the needs, rights and responsibilities of all members of our society

We also believe that values are important. With students, staff and governors we have drawn up a statement of the values that we teach and stand by.

In this school we value

• Endeavour : we know that commitment and hard work, on all our parts, is the key to continued learning and improvement.
• Achievement : we hold high expectations of ourselves and of all our students; we want all our students to achieve success, to have their achievement praised and celebrated.
• Sharing: we encourage all students to share in their own learning, and in the range of educational activities that the school and its community can provide.
• Respect : respect for ourselves, and respect, consideration and tolerance for the needs and views of others.
• Honesty : both with ourselves and with others.
• Co-operation : the ability to work with others, to recognise the contribution that other people make to our learning and our development, and to support other people in their learning and their development.
• Self-reliance : the ability to take responsibility for our own actions and to grow as individuals.
• Equality : both of opportunity and esteem.
• Encouragement : to help us to approach our work with enthusiasm and find enjoyment in our learning.
• Pride : in our own achievement and in the achievement of other people, in the school itself and in the environment that we create.
