Aims, purposes and values

As a school we have various aims, purposes and values which guide everything we do.

View our Aims, Purpose and Values below, or find out how we embed British Values into school life.

Aims

The overall aim of the school is “to be the best you can be.” 

Also the school aims to: 
​
  1. ​develop knowledge, understanding and skills for lifelong learning, 
  2. provide quality teaching and learning opportunities, 
  3. surpass all achievement and attainment targets, 
  4. motivate students to achieve their best,
  5. develop positive relationship and communication skills,
  6. establish a framework within which the growth of the whole individual is catered for in their educational pathway. 

Purposes

In order to give expression to the six broad aims set out above, the school has adopted a series of purposes as follows: 

  • Help young people achieve independence;
  • motivate students;
  • make sure that students achieve success;
  • ensure that students enjoy school and are happy;
  • involve students in their own learning in order to record positive achievements and report this to parents;
  • create a caring, supportive ethos within which young people can grow, develop and achieve their potential; 
  • provide equality of opportunity; 
  • establish positive relationships;
  • encourage responsibility and self-discipline;
  • aim for excellence and high standards;
  • establish good home - school relationships.

Values

Underlying the aims and purposes are the values that the school holds as being important in the development of young people. 
​
  • Respectful: Self-respect and respect for others, property and the school environment; 
  • Disciplined: The development of self-discipline; 
  • Honest: The importance of truth, fairness, justice; 
  • Tolerant: Consideration and tolerance of others and their views; 
  • Supportive: Always willing to help others; 
  • Responsible: Responsibility for one’s own actions. ​
​
As a consequence of supporting these values, the school specifically rejects behaviour that involves, for example, bullying, vandalism, intolerance, indiscipline. 

These values are reflected in the way in which the school is structured and organised and, most importantly, by the role models set by the King Edward VI community in their day-to-day dealings with each other.
