Please click here to view The Sigma Trust's mission, vision, and values. Every student is valued in the community at The Stanway School. Our demanding academic, cultural, and athletic standards are well received by students. No matter where it occurs—in the classroom, on the field, in the studio, or via contributions to the larger community—we acknowledge and celebrate achievement. Our kids benefit from having high expectations for behaviour, attendance, and timeliness, and we work hard to tailor our instruction to each student's unique needs, interests, and aptitudes. Everyone involved in the school community is expected to work hard to improve upon their past performance and to be proud of their accomplishments. Through a wide-ranging, well-balanced, and engaging curriculum, our exceptional faculty and staff support students in forming their own opinions and finding their own voices. Our curriculum places a priority on teaching contemporary British principles including democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and respect for people of all religions and beliefs. Our children generate well-informed perspectives, are able to participate fully in their school community, and are prepared for the next level of their education, employment, or training. Everyone is valued in our school community. The Stanway School is a dependable and well-respected member of the neighbourhood and works really hard to provide our children the best possible start through superb teaching and the finest possible supervision and assistance. It's an exciting time as we launch the most recent stage of our $7 million expansion project, the new Creative Arts block. I hope you will enjoy your time here, engage completely in all elements of school life, and grow to be a self-assured, inquisitive, and considerate member of our Stanway School.
