Philosophy Statement

 

 

  •  We will use our vision statement to guide our decision making in all aspects of school life.
     
  •  We will provide high quality education for children from the international community (both expatriate and Romanian) from the ages of 3 to 19 in an English speaking environment.
     
  •  We will not discriminate against children on any grounds (gender, race, creed, culture or ability), but seek to provide a accepting environment for children where all are equal and all are treated equally.
     
  •  We will employ skilled, Native English-speaking, trained teachers to deliver a curriculum based on the National Curriculum of England and Wales. We will adapt this to meet the needs of our international community children, whilst acknowledging the heritage of our host country, Romania.
     
  •  We will focus on the key skills in English, Mathematics, Science, and Information Technology, (using the guidance of the appropriate schemes of work) to enable all children to access the full width of the curriculum, so as to equip our children to succeed in their future studies and careers.
     
  •  We will assess children against external standards, but will also assess them in terms of improvement and progress.
     
  •  We will provide an education that will enable children to move to an educational establishment in any other part of the world.
     
  •  We will provide a wide range of extracurricular activities in order to enable our students to develop on no academic areas and to be able to discover interests that develop into lifelong passions.
     
  •  We will provide our students with a number of opportunities each year to travel abroad in order to better develop an appreciation of other cultures, life styles, attitudes, and perspectives.
     
  •  We will have high expectations of our children and will encourage our students to strive to achieve have high standards and to realise their full potential
     
  •  We will develop children as whole individuals so that all skills and abilities are recognised, encouraging our students to view both success and failure as opportunities for further growth and development.
     
  •  We will manage the school and the children in such a way that our students develop a strong moral character, with a sense of community and concern for others.
     
  •  We will promote a caring ethos throughout the school (between children, staff and parents) so there is an atmosphere of mutual respect and cooperation.
     
  •  We will develop our school in partnership with the parents of our children through regular meetings, regular reports on the progress of children, and through consultation on the service which we are providing as a school.
     
  •  We will, as a school, keep abreast of developments in education worldwide and constantly seek to develop ourselves professionally. We are committed to supporting each other in terms of well-being and development and expect all staff, in return, to strive constantly for higher standards of performance and achievement.
     
  •  We will work together - teaching staff, administrative staff, and support staff – to ensure that the school is a safe and happy environment for all our children.
