Our Values and Ethos

At the heart of the school’s vision and values is the belief that we should give our best efforts first time: ‘Aspirat primo fortuna labori’.  This is embedded in our core values of Aspiration, Endeavour, Respect, Courage and Resilience.  

The school has a long-standing commitment to building a highly aspirational and harmonious community which supports students through a well-planned and dynamic curriculum to fulfil their future ambitions. Underpinning this aspiration is the belief that our students achieve their potential through hard work and endeavour, giving the best of themselves around the school in their interactions with each other and the wider community. We encourage our students to show courage by embracing new experiences, taking positive risks and making the most of the opportunities available to them both in school and beyond. We also foster resilience, enabling students to respond positively to feedback, learn from challenges and setbacks, and continually strive for improvement. Founded on mutual respect and courtesy, these values and expectations permeate all that we do at home, in school and within the wider community, ensuring students have the opportunity to develop in an inclusive and caring community where they become the very best that they can be.

Therefore, our community believes in:

Aspiration -  we always strive to give our very best in everything that we do so that we can achieve our ambitions and succeed beyond school

Endeavour - we challenge ourselves to be the best version of ourselves by embracing the opportunities provided by our school and the wider community.

Respect – we take pride in belonging to a harmonious community built on kindness, integrity and mutual respect.

Courage - we have the confidence to try new things, step beyond our comfort zones and take positive risks through our learning and participation in enrichment opportunities.

Resilience - we use feedback to improve, persevere through challenges and setbacks, and continually develop our knowledge, skills and character.
