School Aims : C.A.R.E.S.
Bannockburn High School is working with all pupils and parents
to raise:
CONFIDENCE
The school actively encourages all pupils to believe in their own abilities
and personal qualities. This is promoted by creating an environment where
pupils enjoy working and studying, can see the benefits of hard work and
conscientious study, an environment where sincere effort is recognised,
where success is praised and motivation is increased.
ACHIEVEMENT
The central aim of the school is to work to obtain the highest levels of
achievement for all pupils. This includes attainment in classwork and tests,
in school and national examinations, in work experience placements, sporting
events and personal interest activities. Targets are clearly specified and
agreed, so that pupils have clear goals towards which to strive.
RESPECT Through the existence of a highly positive, challenging and supportive
ethos, pupils are encouraged to cultivate, similarly positive attitudes
towards themselves, their work, their fellow pupils, their teachers and
their school. Treating others with
respect and expecting the same in return, lies at the very heart of this
approach to life in our school and the wider community.
EXPECTATIONS All staff set themselves and their pupils high expectations in areas such as
quality of work, punctuality, attendance, effort, commitment, behaviour,
manners and dress. Pupils are encouraged to develop their own high
expectations in all these
areas. An ethos of achievement is expected and actively encouraged
throughout the school.
STANDARDS
The school strives to ensure that pupils are encouraged and motivated to
achieve the highest possible standards in classwork, homework, in tests and
examinations and other personal qualities such as punctuality, attendance,
effort, commitment, behaviour, manners and dress. School rules are clear,
readily understood and appropriate as are targets for learning. Strategies
are in place to
monitor performance to improve attainment and to support and encourage.
