Inspiration, Influence, Integrity
We asked staff and students to think about the creation of a vision statement, reflecting aspects already achieved by the community at Felixstowe School as well as our aspirations for the school.
The process included an opportunity for us to reflect on the what the values of 'Inspiration', 'Influence' and 'Integrity' meant to us as a community and as individuals, before developing the words and ideas that would form our Vision. These values along with our vision will enable us to provide the excellent education provision that this community deserves.
