Vision, Values & Ethos
We aim to achieve our vision
Achievement for all – transforming lives through learning
by supporting the development of our young people so that they become happy, confident individuals who can make a positive contribution to society and become the best versions of themselves.
We aim to achieve this by creating a culture:
- where students learn and achieve within an inclusive ethos of respect, aspiration, and responsibility;
- which values the individual whilst embracing collective responsibility;
- which empowers our students to value the knowledge and skills that will support them as lifelong learners;
- which provides challenge, both academically and personally;
- where success is fostered and celebrated;
- built on warm relationships between every member of our community.
The values that guide us at Settlebeck School are:
Respect We expect all members of our school community to respect others, their views, cultures, and differences. This creates a sense of belonging for all, where everyone feels valued;
Responsibility We understand our responsibility and strive to provide the best educational experiences for our young people and we aim to develop within our students responsibility for self, others, and community.
Aspiration We are fiercely ambitious on behalf of all our students and expect them to aspire to be the best versions of themselves.
