Vision
- To provide a first-class education and be the best we can be;
- To move the school to ‘outstanding’ and beyond;
- To develop the whole child to broaden their horizons, elevate their ambitions and furnish them with the attributes to succeed in the future;
- To improve outcomes in all areas of the school.
How will we implement it?
- By creating a culture of high standards in all that we do and by recognising the contribution of all of the school community;
- By developing and utilising the skills of the Governing Body and the wider school community in order to move the school to the next level;
- By fostering a culture of staff well-being and development through high quality CPD;
- By investing in school facilities in order to create an inspirational environment in which to work and study.
Values
Ambition
We seek to help students fulfil their ambitions by fostering a climate of high expectations and tailored support.
Respect
We ask that our school community respects the name of the school and the individuals within it. Respect is a value that permeates everything and underpins relationships between students and their peers and staff and students alike.
Pride
We encourage people to have pride in themselves and their individual achievements. Diversity is celebrated.
Ethos
The school has a long and illustrious history, dating back to 1636. Education at Calday is grounded in these traditions, but with a modern outlook. We aim to prepare our students for the challenges of the 21st century and strive to create the next generation of leaders. The school aspires to create articulate, confident, rounded citizens with enquiring minds who have a life-long love of learning. As an old Chinese proverb states, “Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere”.
At Calday Grange Grammar School we are clear about the achievement – academic and personal – we aim to foster in our students.
The school mission statement is demonstrated on a daily basis by promoting and celebrating personal and professional excellence, ambition, respect, pride, individual responsibility, potential, success and achievement.
