OUR PHILOSOPHY

WE BELIEVE EVERY LEARNER HAS THE RIGHT TO AN OUTSTANDING EDUCATION AND CAN BE SUCCESSFUL REGARDLESS OF THEIR BACKGROUND.

At the heart of our approach to education are the ‘4Rs’ which underpin everything we believe:

RESILIENCE

Persevere, stick at it even when it’s difficult and embrace challenge.

RESOURCEFULNESS

Making use of a range of resources and using what’s around you to help and use imagination.

REFLECTIVENESS

Organise your work, reflect on what you have done well and what to do to improve.

RESPECT

Learning to value self, others and the environment.

Through promoting these core values, we believe we can help equip our young people to not only succeed academically, but also socially, spiritually and culturally.

A ‘WORLD CLASS’ SCHOOL

Sir Jonathan North was first awarded the World Class Schools Quality Mark in 2016, and after a series of assessments was re-accredited again in 2019. This Quality Mark is awarded to schools who have already been judged ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted and gone beyond this criterion. It recognises innovative schools that have developed World Class students in ways that are groundbreaking; have represented a diversity of outstanding provision and demonstrated a commitment to bringing about improvement through partnership and collaboration.

We’re not only extremely proud of this exclusive accreditation, but also of our staff, students and parents who support us in making Sir Jonathan North a ‘World Class’ school.
