Our vision and values
Our three core values at Prince William School are:
Vision: Learning for Life
The vision for Prince William School is to provide our students with learning which will support them throughout their lives. We aim to nurture a passion for learning by enriching their learning experiences and raise their aspirations by providing them with the qualifications, knowledge and skills they need to be successful in adult life.
We want to create confident, resilient adults who have an ambition for self-improvement, are able to compete equally with their peers in a world beyond school life, but are also respectful and have a mature sense of citizenship and responsibility.
We aim to provide an education that prepares students for the adult world of work, not only by enabling them to attain qualifications that allow them to follow their career aspirations successfully, but also by equipping them with an aptitude for life-long learning.
We recognise that they will need to be able to continue to learn new skills and acquire new knowledge throughout their working lives. Additionally, we aim to foster a love of learning that will remain with the students for the rest of their lives.
These principles are summed up in The Prince William Way:
- be respectful of everyone in the school,
- be on time,
- have planners and equipment out on the desk every lesson,
- allow everyone to learn
- be open to new or different learning activities,
- try, keep trying; and in trying, accept that it is OK to get it wrong,
- respond positively to feedback and advice,
- be honest about what they understand and what they need more help with,
- prepare for their future by developing their key skills,
- become an independent learner for life.
