We have taken the Vision and Values statements below and have summarised them as Calderhead CARES:
- Community
- Ambition
- Respect
- Equity
- Success
The core professional purpose of Calderhead High School is to provide a challenging and stimulating learning environment that empowers young people to reach their educational and personal
potential while nurturing their self-confidence and self-esteem. We aim to provide, in partnership with parents/carers and community agencies, a quality education provision which will allow our
young people to develop as life-long learners.
In full consultation with parents, pupils and staff, we have agreed that the core professional principles which underpin our school community are as follows:
- We believe success comes from hard work
- We believe pupils should be proud of their work and of their achievements, and this should be recognised and praised.
- We believe that we need to listen to each other and respect others’ opinions.
- We believe that Calderhead High School provides opportunities for our pupils to develop social skills and new interests, which will help prepare them for the wider world after school.
- We believe that the classroom environment should be somewhere that promotes good learning and teaching, where every pupil
knows what success looks like and can achieve their full potential. - We believe all pupils and staff are equal and should be treated with respect and fairness at all times.
