Our ethos and strategic plan
Our ethos
Being a pupil at CLSG means being part of the City of London and part of the great tradition of people arriving in the City, learning, and working together to forge better lives for themselves and for the world.
We reflect the City’s pioneering energy in the liberal, scholarly education it offers and in our inclusivity. We encourage pupils’ curiosity and courage, emphasise respect, collaboration and connectedness for communal and individual success. We seek to build readiness for the world that our location and ethos so distinctly delivers.
Our values of respect, responsibility and resourcefulness underpin our ethos.
Our vision
We inspire our pupils to find their space to pioneer.
Our strategic development plan
We will ready our pupils in five key areas:
Our main school aims
Our strategic aims cover six key areas:
Learning
Pupils are academically curious and resourceful; they take risks, are ambitious and love learning for its own sake.
Co-curricular & partnerships
Pupils contribute enthusiastically to co-curricular activities and partnerships and serve the communities around them with respect.
Pastoral
Pupils understand themselves, are listened to and take reflective ownership of their lives and are considerate of others.
People
High-calibre staff and inspirational teachers are empowered through outstanding professional development opportunities.
Operations
The management of the financial and human resources, and estates, is forward-looking, sustainable and compliant.
External relations
The school will be distinctive and understood, allowing it to attract a diverse intake of pupils and staff, and to influence wider debate.
