Our Vision and Values

Being open, honest and true to ourselves; being courteous and polite; having the moral strength to make the right choices; doing the right thing when nobody is watching; having the motivation to complete tasks to the best of our ability.

Learning to live, work and play together; feeling happy, safe and confident in our environment and helping others to feel the same; appreciating the importance and the contribution of every member of our society; understanding how we can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in the locality of the school and to society more widely; learning to be responsible citizens of GES and of the world.

Celebrating our academic and personal successes; Working with co-operation, purpose and commitment to achieve together; living with each other in a spirit of collaboration and fellowship; always looking to help and encourage other people and to see the best in others.

Tackling new challenges with determination; growing in independence, with the confidence to try things even if they might be difficult; never giving up; challenging behaviours and attitudes that are contrary to our shared values.

Making the most of the openings and chances that come our way at GES; being the best we can be in all we do; pursuing excellence in our learning; being open-minded, curious and adaptable to change.
