[EduCativ]

We equip our children with the competence to master academic rigor, the confidence to live a life of value and self-worth in the world, and the compassion to make a difference in the lives of others.
We believe that every child is unique and deserves the recognition of that as they grow. We are academically ambitious for our children and motivate them to achieve their personal best. We encourage an appropriate belief in oneself while being mindful that the world does not end at the tip of one’s nose and that happiness in life is through success in enriching the lives of others.
Our expectations are high and we make no apology for these children respond positively to the belief we have in them. They are encouraged to take intellectual risks, to challenge themselves, and to respond to that challenge because they know we are there to support them. Mistakes are valued as opportunities for growth and development.
We expect all our pupils to develop independence, responsibility, and a spirit of inquiry from a young age but we cannot foster these ideals without giving our children a meaningful opportunity to practice them. From class representation in student councils, our students also lead on national conferences, address national education fora, trade on the London Exchange in our Stock Market Investment Club and develop their economic and business acumen through our MBA Experience in partnership with Winchester University. They also lead award-winning sailing, drama, and golf programs and, in co-operation with staff, plan and manage business tendering and projects. Our children have the opportunity to be their best and leave us with a character that will inform the rest of their lives.
Our students go out into the world with a sense of purpose. They leave us with academic achievement, personal fulfillment, and the desire to make a difference.
our school is the proud inheritor of the tradition of innovation and data-driven progress espoused in the life and work of Florence Nightingale. In preparing our pupils for the world, we place the best interests of the individual child at the center of all we do. Our school is not just a place for the acquisition of knowledge, our mission is as much about formation as it is about education.
In the context of this development, we have identified three principles – academic ambition, belief, and compassion – which are served by our curricular and co-curricular offering. The use of tablet devices in education sits within the context of these three principles and is not seen as an end in itself but a means to this end. Tablets form part of a multi-faceted approach to teaching and learning and contribute to our vision of developing pupils with character: pupils who are competent, confident and compassionate, and ready to take their place in the world and affect meaningful change to make the world a better place.
