Our vision
At Queensmead, we strive to nurture academic excellence for all of our young people, within a caring and safe environment. We take great pride in the range of academic opportunities we offer to our students and the support we have in place to enable them to succeed. We are committed to helping our students develop the knowledge, skills and confidence necessary for life beyond Queensmead, to ensure that they are ready to move into the world of university, training or employment, supporting them to make positive contributions to their communities as they become adults.
Our values
Our four values exemplify who we are as a school community and form the foundation for everything we do, underpinning our vision to promote and aspire to excellence for all, whilst nurturing a caring community. Both students and staff work to demonstrate our values in all aspects of school life.
Our four Queensmead values are:
Kindness
- We are kind to each other in all of our interactions. We think about how actions may affect others and treat them as we would wish to be treated.
- We are kind to ourselves, we look after our own physical and mental health and realise that making mistakes is ok, as long as we are always trying to do the right thing and be the best we can be.
Respect
- We respect other people at all times, we understand that people may hold different opinions to ours, but we remain respectful when talking to everyone
- We not only respect but celebrate different cultures, beliefs and religions. We understand that everybody is unique and of equal worth.
Resilience
- We understand that failing is a part of the learning process and see it as an opportunity to learn something new
- We understand that if we are working hard, failure is ok, as long as we keep trying and do not give up.
Independence
- We believe it is important to work independently and help ourselves whenever we can.
- We realise asking for help when we need it is a sign of independence.
