Ethos, Vision and Expectations

Highworth Warneford School is an inclusive, fully comprehensive school catering for the needs of all of our young people, no matter what their ability or background.

Our aim is to provide a well-rounded education that enables our students to acquire and develop the skills, knowledge, personal attributes and qualifications they will need for their future.

Through a wide range of engaging, creative and exciting learning opportunities (both in and out of the classroom), we want to create confident, successful and ambitious students with the cultural capital to succeed in life.

The school’s vision is based on five clear principles:

Excellence:  Students strive for excellence in everything that they do

Aspiration:  Students achieve their full potential - never settling for just enough

Challenge:  Students are resilient and can adapt to embrace challenge

Character:  Students act with kindness, integrity and clear moral values

Community:  Students are global citizens; positively engaging with the local, national and international community

To achieve these goals, it is important that students and staff are able to work together in an orderly, well-disciplined and purposeful atmosphere. Therefore, we expect students and staff to treat each other with courtesy and respect, building strong relationships that enable everyone to work at their full potential.  Our excellent pastoral systems underpin this, and we have a happy school where all children are known and seen as individuals.
