1. In order to fulfil their academic potential, students must feel happy, secure and valued within the school and learning environment. Our aim is to give individual attention to each child and underpin all that the students do with a system of guidance and encouragement in order to enable the individual to thrive among friends.
2. Each student looks to the needs of others in order to create a civilized, supportive and friendly society, free of intolerance and prejudice, within which he/she can grow as an individual, develop as a student and pursue his/her own interests in a confident and creative manner.
3. As a school we believe that a close collaboration between school and home is an essential element in helping our children develop into responsible adults, able to respond to the pressures they will inevitably face, particularly through the often difficult teenage years. Together we can see their strengths, anticipate problems and encourage them, by means of open communication, to build good relationships with their peers and adults. This relationship between home and school has to be one of mutual trust. The Codrington School does not operate behind closed doors. Parents are encouraged to feel a vital part of the school, and that they are welcome, whenever it is convenient, to discuss their child’s future with us, and to share their concerns.
The positive ethos of the school, the high expectations of all members of faculty and staff, the class and form community, a programme of assemblies, health and social education lessons and enrichment activities all contribute to this and help encourage a sense of community and belonging.
Each student is seen as an important member of a close-knit ‘family’ and it is expected that older students look to the welfare of younger children within the school community, providing a positive role-model as well as assisting and helping them in their daily school routine.
