Our ethos
Our mission is ‘enabling the self’, which means that we aim to provide our students with the skills, confidence and abilities to take their place in the world. Our vision is to provide a safe and nurturing environment and build an inspirational culture in which students can enjoy learning, achieve their potential and develop the key skills they will need to thrive as independent adults.
International Baccalaureate learner profile
We are proud that we will be the world’s first special autism International Baccalaureate (IB) World School. As an IB World School, we will support our students to develop 10 human attributes that go beyond academic success, known as the IB learner profile. We believe these characteristics should be developed in all students regardless of neurodiverse or neuro-typical development. These attributes sit at the heart of our curriculum:
- Inquirers
- Knowledgeable
- Thinkers
- Communicators
- Principled
- Open-minded
- Caring
- Risk-takers
- Balanced
- Reflective
