Education

Education is more than merely imparting facts to children. It’s about nurturing and shaping young minds, igniting a spark that fosters a lifelong passion for self-improvement, benefitting those around them, and positively impacting their community and environment.

For our younger students, starting from 5 years old, we aim to provide an engaging and enjoyable learning experience. We hope to instil in them a hunger for knowledge, a spirit of cooperation with their peers, and above all, a sense of joy in learning and growing.

As for our older students, our aspiration is to cultivate respectful, responsible and compassionate young adults, though we also understand the significance of examination results, not just as a testament to academic achievement but as a foundation for future opportunities and personal growth. Our ultimate goal is for them to carry these qualities forward, actively contributing to making our future world a better place for all its inhabitants. To achieve both academic excellence and holistic development, it’s imperative that we offer a safe and welcoming environment where students feel confident and unafraid to question and engage with what they’re being taught.

Teachers

We have a team of thoroughly vetted teachers and support staff, which includes conducting rigorous background checks and ensuring that they receive regular safeguarding training throughout their tenure with us. We ardently subscribe to the ethos that one should learn something new every day. This isn’t merely a fleeting sentiment but a lifelong attitude, and we expect our teaching staff to embody this approach to their own knowledge.

Hence, it’s our duty to offer as much support to our teaching team as we do to our students. Our aim is to offer a nurturing environment not only for our students but also for our teaching staff and everyone else associated with our school.

Technology

Technology is already a large part of every person’s life today and is becoming ever more important. It is a wonderful tool to be used to inspire the students and train them for future use in the workplace. We believe it is important to embrace this and use technology to enable us to achieve our mission.

Our vision is to foster a school that is strong in the sciences, technology and environmental awareness, while also producing strong, intelligent adults that use these skills to better the future of everyone from the local community to the country and the planet.

Environment

The environment in which children learn and people work is very important in ensuring our future development. Like our own and everyone before us, this generation will have to deal with the legacy left for them. Therefore, we have a huge responsibility to teach our students how to work with the environment and allow the planet that we and all other living things call home, to prosper. We encourage our teachers to make use of the outside space to host lessons and congregate the students for reading time outside under the trees and on the grass.

Religion

Religion is a personal choice, and the school respects the personal and private choice of every student or staff member. The school recognises that the subject of religion is often sensitive and can provoke passionate reactions. Therefore, the school has a strictly secular approach whereby religion is not part of school life. We also follow a neutral religious education policy; we shall not educate or persuade any individual into any single direction, and we shall not promote or discriminate any single religious faith or belief.
