Carre’s Grammar School

The school website states: 'Carre’s Grammar School will be the best it can be for the young people in its care, challenging all members of the school community to achieve excellence in a wide range of academic, cultural and sporting activities.

The school is based upon the core value of respect – for the individual, for the school and for the community. We believe that every student has a right to the highest standards of teaching and learning in a caring, supportive and nurturing learning environment. We encourage diversity in beliefs and ideologies and place great emphasis on our relationships with our students, with our parents, and with the wider community. The qualities of honesty, tolerance, integrity, humility, equality and generosity are paramount to fostering these relationships.

Carre’s Grammar School fosters success and promotes enterprise, and imagination. It empowers all members of the school community to reach their potential.

We aim to provide the highest quality teaching and expect the highest standards of work and behaviour. We aim to maintain a safe, caring and happy environment in which all students and staff feel valued and cared for. We aim to cultivate resilient and confident young people who are resourceful and reflective learners, fully prepared for adult life and the world of work.'

In addition to extensive sporting activities, and to further supplement the curriculum, there is a wide range of activities out of school time. Opportunities are given for students to develop their creative talents in art and crafts, music and drama. The school has a considerable variety of educational and sporting visits that are organised both at home and abroad. This includes visits to Senegal, Nepal, France, Germany, China, Morocco, South Africa, Australia, Ireland, Holland, Sri Lanka, Ecuador and St Lucia.

Academic work, although of prime importance, is only one part of school life. Whilst it is justifiably proud of its academic record, the school is equally proud of its achievements out of the formal classroom environment and actively encourages enrichment activities.
