Finding space to pioneer
Inspirational learning, exciting partnerships and a strong culture of self-reflection in the heart of the capital will grow a new generation of pioneering young people.
Our ethos and vision
Inspirational learning, exciting partnerships and a strong culture of self-reflection in the heart of the capital will grow a new generation of pioneering young people
Over the next ten years, we will build on our reputation as one of the country’s leading girls’ schools. We want to be a school which is not only known for its outstanding education, but has real influence and reach, which it uses to further wider educational outcomes and discourse. We want our school to be fun, pioneering and properly adventurous, leading the country in scholarly exploration, pastoral development, partnerships and co-curricular engagement.
Our vision is for students, staff and the wider community to find space to pioneer. As well as the requirement to forge new physical space for the site and by being a creative, pioneering part of the post C19 City regeneration of space, we aim to break new educational ground and claim our space, in three critical ways.
Reflective space
We shall scrutinise our space, and encourage a culture of reflection. The constraints of time and space in a busy and commuting school are significant. We shall establish a strong coaching culture in the school, so that all staff and pupils can gain an understanding of strategies required to reflect on their own aims and ambitions. We shall give them the space to pause and develop, equipping them with the tools to lead happier and more successful lives. They will be inculcated with a greater sense of confidence, self-awareness and taught to listen and learn from others.
Scholarly space
Learning is, of course, at the heart of all that we do, and we will continue to provide inspirational and empowering teaching for our students. Our spectacular examination results speak for themselves, but we will seek to provide so much more than this, experimenting and innovating, so that we instil in our students a love of learning for its sake, equipping them with the strategies to be lifelong learners, nimble and resilient to face any challenge.
Shared space
We understand the extraordinariness of our space and want to share it. Appreciating the difference we can make when we work with others, we will build partnerships with sustained impact on our wider communities. We will be pioneering in our collaborative work, establishing long-lasting relationships with the City family of schools, including a new and stronger bond with our brother school, City of London School.
Our values
The 3 Rs of City permeate all that we do and could never be more pertinent.
Respect
for self, others and our environment
Responsibility
for our own independent learning and development, our actions and words
Resourcefulness
which includes resilience, courage, creativity and aspiration
