Values


  1.  Excellence
    - the learner comes first
    -     teaching and learning should be the central focus for all staff and students 
    -     teaching and learning is our starting point, that if we get it right then   everything else will fall into place; get it wrong and everything else will fail
    -     support staff’s role in creating effective teaching and learning is crucial; teachers cannot do their job without them
    -     student achievement and the quality of teaching should be the final measure of the effectiveness of management, teaching staff, support staff and resource allocation
    -     in being student-centred, treating each person as an individual with a unique set of needs- each learner should fulfil his/her maximum potential 
    -     target setting raises self-esteem and expectations, as well as helping to monitor progress: it is as much about creating strong student-staff relationships, coaching and  student /teacher partnership as about student monitoring
    -     in rigorous benchmarked standards of behaviour and work, setting targets and monitoring trends
    -     in a culture of high expectations for staff and learners’ refusing to accept second best
    -     all learners should fulfil their maximum potential 
    -     we should provide for students of outstanding ability or those who are gifted and talented or exceptional in any way, with opportunities for them to excel
    -     there should be a relentless collective focus on continuous improvement and standards
    -     we should learn from good practice elsewhere and disseminate good practice within

    2.      Responsibility
    - we should pass on what we've learnt to help other schools and organizations to improve the quality of education in Romania
    -     all members of the school (staff and students) should be involved in directly supporting local charities and non government organizations for the betterment of our community

    3.      Creativity
    - in releasing and developing unlimited creative potential in all our students
    -     to have the self-confidence to be creative in the way we teach
    -     in being creative in the way we face work based problems: we always aim for win win

      

    4.       Respect for Diversity
    -     in being student-centred, treating each person as an individual with a unique set of needs- each learner should fulfil his/her maximum potential
    -     the achievements of each individual should be recognised and celebrated. we should celebrate diversity and equal opportunities for all
