Why do we want

this?

…confident, clear communicators who interact well with others

So they can express themselves clearly, build relationships, share their own opinions respectfully and are able to try new things

…able to apply core skills with confidence in new situations and reason logically

So they can achieve success, feel confident in their abilities and access the next stage of learning in order to make the most of opportunities in their future

…knowledgeable across a range of subjects and familiar with experts and great achievers

So they can develop a deeper understanding and benefit from the confidence of a well-rounded bank of essential knowledge and experience appreciation of human creativity and achievement.

…positive about themselves, with good self-esteem and a broad minded, open view of the world

So they can reflect on their own needs and empathise with others. Show respect for views, beliefs, people and the environment and be of value to society

…resilient, brave and curious learners

So they develop personal passions and interests,  tackle problems and find great solutions, accept challenges and do not feel limited in their future
