Values and vision

The President Kennedy School motto is “Building Brighter Futures”, and everything the school does is focused on doing just that for the students and community. The school has a “no barriers” ethos, meaning pupils of all different backgrounds and abilities are all encouraged to work hard to achieve the highest goals they can set themselves.

The school's core values centre around the students and learning coming first, and no barriers to achievement. It endeavours to achieve its aims by encouraging a caring, fair and professional environment where each and every student is equally valued, and a high level of academic achievement where students respect each other and take pride in themselves and the school.

Ofsted

“Behaviour is outstanding. Students are typically polite, well-motivated and considerate towards each other. They respond very well to requests and instructions from teachers and can quickly and responsibly work in pairs or groups.”

“The school has an exceptional commitment to equality of opportunity. Real efforts are made to ensure that no student experiences any barrier to their learning.”
