Ethos and Values

 

Our aim is to develop students who will have the education and the resilience to thrive in an international environment.  Teachers help students to do so by demonstrating:

  • their own global perspective; one which is tolerant, inclusive, respectful and welcomes other cultures;
  • their willingness to establish a learning culture which consistently seeks out international best practice;
  • a professional approach when working with students, parents and colleagues;
  • integrity in all that they say and do;
  • diligence in application to the challenges that they face; and
  • the natural capacity to treat everyone, irrespective of their position, with dignity

 Our teachers’ interest in and knowledge of their subject means that they are able to bring their lessons alive in a way which engages all students and so enables them to see the value and relevance of what they are being taught.

All students are given every opportunity to succeed.  The school staff work together in order to ensure that students who may be struggling in any regard are always given the support they need to achieve their best.

Continuous assessment of students’ progress together with friendly, specific, helpful and timely feedback means that students, staff and parents know at any given time how students are performing.

Students take the initiative and responsibility for organising extra-curricular activities.  In this way, they create opportunities for themselves and their fellow classmates to broaden their range of skills and interests.
