Aims and Expectations
At East Barnet School we are committed to developing life-long learners who excel academically. With year-on-year A-Level results that continue to rank us as one of the highest performing schools in the country, we have high expectations of all students. Starting in Year 7, we build the foundations for success with an "ambitious curriculum [and] exciting and stimulating learning environment” (Ofsted), that students enjoy. In addition to academic achievement, we develop the whole person by building students’ character, through social, emotional and mental health support. Attaining the ‘School Mental Health Award’ has equipped us with tools to build resilient young people that are ready to embrace the wider world. To achieve both our aims and to nurture our culture we have two unequivocal values: “I want to learn” and “Do the right thing”. Students embrace and strive to accomplish these values, and are rewarded when they do so.
To create a positive learning environment, we utilise four priorities: Curriculum, Communication, Sustainability and Consistency, providing a stable setting on which students can rely. Well-structured lessons encourage the contribution of ideas and respect for the views of others, whilst weekly ‘Triple-E’ allows students to explore concepts purely focused on inspiration, enjoyment, curiosity and discovery. During recreational breaks and outside of school, students have the opportunity to participate in a wide-range of extra-curricular activities, building confidence, imagination and teamwork.
As a culturally diverse school, we recognise the multi-cultural, multi-faith and ever-changing nature of the UK. We follow equality guidance which guarantees no discrimination against any individual or group. Our curriculum prepares students with the skills they need for life and facilitates career aspirations.
