Our ethos and values

Our ethos is underpinned by a sense of moral purpose and commitment to doing what is right for children and young people, supporting colleagues to achieve excellence and acting with integrity in all our dealings within and beyond the organisation, in the interests of young people everywhere.

We summarise this ethos as
‘the best in everyone’.

This ethos underpins our core values:

Ambition – to achieve the best for ourselves and others;
Confidence – to have the courage of our convictions and to take risks in the right cause;
Creativity – to imagine possibilities and make them real;
Respect – for ourselves and others in all that we do;
Enthusiasm – to seek opportunity, find what is good and pursue talents and interests;
Determination – to overcome obstacles and reach success.

This ethos is our expression of our Christian roots, which are fully inclusive and both welcome and respect students and staff of all faiths and none.
