Sir Henry Floyd Grammar School: ‘Working Together to Inspire, Challenge and Achieve’

• We build resilience… bouncing back takes courage. We develop a resolute mindset in each of our students and foster a willingness to take calculated risks, without fear of failure.

• We encourage reciprocity… there is strength in the pack. We champion the exchange of wisdom and guidance between our students, to ensure they grow both individually and as a collective.

• We grow resourcefulness… deeper roots; greater fruits. We motivate our students to investigate every resource and inspiration available to them in their pursuit of fresh knowledge.

• We nurture reflection… thinking back is moving forwards. We invite our students to be mindful and self-aware, and to continually adapt their practice, balancing the pursuit of excellence and their wellbeing.

• We treasure respect… the little things that go a long way. We expect our students to be courteous and kind at all times, and to appreciate and celebrate the differences that make us unique.
