1 SCHOOL CALENDAR AUTUMN TERM 2018

2 ETHOS AND BOARDING AIMS Ethos Our aim is to provide all-round education with an academic focus. We promote the full development of students by providing a secure, professional and caring environment in which each student is encouraged to reach his or her individual potential and is prepared for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adulthood. These goals will be achieved in the context of a learning, spiritual, moral and pastoral ethos, which respects values of Christian and other faith communities, and our unique military tradition. Boarding Aims To promote the personal student values of courage, discipline, respect, integrity, loyalty and commitment within an environment where learning is at the heart. To promote a pastoral environment in which all students can live, grow and be happy. To develop a sense of community and belonging within our 100% coeducational boarding school. To develop and foster supportive relationships between students, parents, staff and other stakeholders. To understand and provide for the particular and evolving educational and boarding needs of the military community. To promote a respect for the rights of others and their property. To promote good manners and develop social skills. To promote the student voice in the discussion of boarding matters. To promote and develop the unique military ethos of the School. To provide a boarding environment which develops respect for others and where bullying or other forms of harassment are not tolerated. To provide students with a range of activities and experiences which will develop their character, resilience and leadership skills, allowing students to make a positive contribution to our School community and beyond. To provide the highest quality boarding accommodation, pastoral care and medical care that complies with the National Minimum Standards for Boarding Schools and exceed them wherever possible.
