The Purpose of Education is to make good human beings with skill and expertise” SpringboardSchool creates a school community that encourages the development of mutual respect and tolerance within a happy, atmosphere. We seek to develop lively, enquiring minds; to prepare students for the challenges, opportunities and responsibilities of life through a high standard of education. We encourage all students to reach the highest standards of personal achievement by recognising and being constantly aware of the needs of each individual child according to ability and aptitude. We passionately believe in educating the ‘whole child’ and champion an ‘I can’ culture to raise self-esteem, confidence, resilience, attainment and achievement among our students. These are vital ingredients not just for a successful school life but for lives lived in the wide community. We offer a curriculum which is broad and balanced providing an educational experience of quality, which will develop the intellectual, expressive, physicaland social skills of students of all abilities. Creativity is at the heart of everything we do. We will ensure that we provide our students with the best opportunities for personal development and challenging learning goals creating a real and tangible excitement about learning. We strive to offer equality of opportunity and recognise the importance of different cultures while ensuring we preserve the uniqueness of every child. We believe this curriculum will encourage achievement, resilience, develop caring and positive attitudes and will extend the children’s knowledge of themselves and of the world in which they live. We intend that the students will achieve their full potential; preparing them for the challenges, opportunities and responsibilities of adult life.
