It is critical pupils at Norfolk House School achieve the very highest standards both academically and socially. We have developed our own school ethos which we share with staff, pupils and parents:
To achieve this, we:
Innovate: using the latest learning techniques to provide a stimulating and meaningful learning experience for all our pupils.
Collaborate: by fostering a culture whereby every member of the Norfolk House School community works together for the benefit of the children.
As a result, our pupils succeed both inside and outside of the classroom and each child leaves us as a well-rounded individual who is:
Caring: We show kindness, empathy and respect. We are compassionate, thoughtful and take action to support others and protect the environment.
Reflective: We consider honestly our approach to learning and behaviour. We think carefully about the consequences of our actions in order to make responsible choices and grow.
Open-minded: We appreciate and seek to understand ideas, views and values from others. We are willing to make changes and recognise the benefits of compromise and collaboration.
A Communicator: We express our ideas confidently, clearly and purposefully. We listen thoughtfully and interact with others in a polite and mindful manner.
A Thinker: We are curious and inquire into the world around us. We use critical and creative thinking skills to develop our powers of deduction, reasoning and problem solving.
Resilient: We have a strong, positive mindset and we persevere. We bravely face challenges, setbacks and disappointment, striving to overcome them.
Principled: We understand the difference between right and wrong and act with integrity, honesty and fairness. We recognise and respect the beliefs and opinions of others, whilst remaining true to our own values. We take responsibility for our actions and their consequences.
Ambitious: We are motivated and determined to succeed. We explore new ideas, aim high and constantly challenge ourselves to achieve our full potential and exceed expectations.
