Our principles

Principle one - routines and preparation for adulthood

We use routines to make school efficient and increase learning time. But, we ensure that over time this scaffolding is removed to prepare children for the independence of adulthood.

Principle two - social norms

We raise our children to be comfortable in the social norms of most workplaces. But, we think hard about where those norms may not feel inclusive; we want our children to feel welcome.

Principle three - powerful knowledge

We teach powerful knowledge so that children can understand, access and influence our society. But, we also teach critiques of this knowledge - to give our children an edge and show them that a canon is always up for debate.

Principle four - thinking

We guide learning carefully to ensure all children can access the curriculum and know it. But, we also challenge children to apply their thinking to complex problems to strengthen their intellectual resilience.

Principle five - teaching behaviour

We have rules and systems to ensure good behaviour so that all children can learn, disruption free. But, we realise that behaviour needs to be taught, and some children need more support to reach that standard than others.
