MISSION STATEMENT
Through strong relationships and a culture of respect, we will nurture and develop each of our girls to become independent, confident, academically successful and responsible individuals who will strive to achieve their very best in all aspects of life.
Our mission statement is encapsulated in our three ‘Respects’ which underpins all aspects of school life: Respect for Self Respect for Others Respect for Learning.
These statements are prominent in and around the school and inform every decision we take.
VALUE STATEMENTS
Our values are held within three ‘non-negotiable’ aspects which, we believe, are fundamental to the life of our school and which best represent our beliefs in education. These non-negotiables are: high achievement, inclusion and the development of the whole child. The combination of these ideals, along with our heritage of musical excellence, creates a learning environment unique to NSG.
