Education for a changing world
1
Welcome to
Sir John Lawes School
At Sir John Lawes, our vision
is to produce young people of
whom we can all be proud,
who have achieved more than
they ever believed possible
and who are ready to
contribute to their local, national and global
communities.
At the heart of everything we do is our desire to ensure
that students receive the highest standards of teaching
and learning and a curriculum that enables them to
make outstanding progress, no matter what their
starting point. However, education is about much more
than just exam results and our statement 8Education
for a changing world9 reflects our understanding that
the world into which our students will emerge is an
unpredictable one. They will need much more than just
good qualifications – and so we are also focused on
helping them develop into well-rounded individuals in all
aspects of their lives.
Our shared values of the school community are
summed up in the Sir John Lawes ACE: Achievement,
Care and Excellence
.• Achievement in academic, artistic, sporting, cultural
and other forms with a focus on teaching and learning.
• Care for students, staff and others within and beyond
the school community.
• Excellent standards, manners, honesty, personal
integrity and uniform.
The ACE underpins everything that we do and
provides a secure basis for all we strive to accomplish.
There is so much more that marks out SJL as a place
where each individual can receive the support and
challenge they need to help them thrive; a prospectus
only gives a glimpse. We are immensely proud of the
work we do here so if you like what you see in the
following pages and would like to learn more, please do
visit us and experience the Sir John Lawes ACE for
yourself!
