 Katharine Lady Berkeley's School  - Aims

At Katharine Lady Berkeley's School we aim to provide a safe, stimulating and enjoyable learning environment so that all pupils are motivated to achieve the highest standards of which each is capable.  Pupils will gain a wide range of knowledge, understanding and skills, including the ability to communicate in foreign languages, so that they can leave the school as confident members of society with the best possible opportunities for success in employment, continuing education and adult life.

In pursuing this aim, the school will work in partnership with parents and the wider community to:

  • maintain a culture in which all pupils want to succeed and in which high achievement and excellence are positively viewed by all members of the school community;

  • ensure that equal opportunities are available for every pupil to fulfil his or her potential, irrespective of physical or intellectual ability, gender or cultural background;

  • support all members of the school community, and encourage pupils to support each other, in building and maintaining self-esteem, self-confidence and a positive self-image;

  • enable pupils to develop the knowledge, understanding and skills to express themselves with confidence and clarity;

  • provide pupils with the skills, knowledge and understanding to be able to operate confidently and effectively in the global society of the future;

  • provide a broad and balanced education which enables pupils to appreciate, understand and care about the world around them and the society in which they live so that they can question, argue rationally and make informed decisions;

  • promote the creative, aesthetic, cultural, imaginative and spiritual development of all pupils;

  • support the physical development of pupils;

  • promote the development of social and personal moral values which include self-responsibility and a caring approach towards others;

  • encourage pupils to respect, value and benefit from the diversity of race, religion and culture in the world around them;

  • promote the development of the personal and inter-personal skills and sensitivity which are required for personal relationships, family life and relationships with those in the workplace;

  • provide pupils with the skills, knowledge, understanding and flexibility to be able to make informed career decisions and cope confidently with the changes that will occur in the world around them during their adult lives.
