We encourage and support students to always give their best, no matter what they are doing. Students are in control of their own effort and attitude and we expect students to adopt a positive approach to their learning, seeking further information by asking questions. Students are reported on and rewarded for their proactive engagement in lessons and their independence in and outside of the classroom
Students need good qualifications to be able to pursue their dreams later in life, we work hard to develop the confidence and independence necessary for them to be able to achieve this. However, it is imperative to us that they are happy and develop as all-round people, so we celebrate their achievements in all areas of school life, not just their academic work.
We encourage students to take pride in themselves and have high expectations and standards in everything they do. Students are very proud of our local community and we want them to love coming to school every day. This helps them build healthy self esteem and confidence.
Within the school's broad and balance curriculum we aim to foster an enjoyment of learning and to develop skills that ensure they become lifelong learners. Through lessons and our excellent house system, we provide students opportunities to be inspired, as well as inspiring those around them.
This is one of the key qualities that students will need to be happy and successful in life. We create experiences that help students to develop their resilience, both in lessons and through extra-curricular activities such as the Duke of Edinburgh award. Our excellent pastoral system provides a supportive and caring environment where each student is valued and able to reach their full potential.
We want the students to demonstrate and develop their initiative and enterprise. The school provides many opportunities for students to create and participate in community and charity work. The IBCP delivers a package that enables students to develop a broad range of skills. Universities and employers are impressed by the independent, resilient and outward looking learners who graduate from our sixth form.
