We believe that schools should be shining examples of sustainability and environmental guardianship. Equally, we believe that every child should have the opportunity to experience emotionally rewarding encounters with British nature and wildlife.

We believe the creative arts are fundamental to a fulfilling and emotionally rewarding education. The documented benefits of the arts are wide ranging, from direct cognitive improvements to a child’s learning, an improved sense of health and wellbeing, as well as encouraging the talent supply-line for our world-class creative industries.

We believe that schools should be amongst our greatest peace-building institutions where children are raised to become a generation of peacemakers and conflict resolvers.

In the modern era of globalisation, we believe it is imperative that children are given life-fulfilling opportunities to understand and celebrate the uniqueness of their local culture and heritage.

We believe our schools should be places in which a children’s wellbeing come as the priority, with the understanding that academic success and wellbeing are not mutually exclusive.
