Our Schools

Our principal aim is to encourage high expectations and high standards of achievement, both academic and personal. Our values embrace honesty, trust, reliability, creativity, respect for the legitimate rights of others, care for the vulnerable members of society, regard for the environment and kindness towards other people.

We believe that a safe, calm, friendly, disciplined atmosphere, in which hard work and co-operation are respected, is the best way to promote these values.

Gosforth Group Policies

All policies are reviewed and updated on an annual basis or earlier if new guidance or legislation is issued and/or business needs for earlier review are identified.

The Board of Trustees approved a resolution, in September 2023, to amend the Trust’s annual policy review calendar. As a result, some policies have their policy review dates extended slightly. All policies will be updated on the website, once they have been reviewed and approved by the Board of Trustees.
