Our Ethos: Aspire – Believe – Achieve

At George Mitchell School:

We inspire every learner to aspire — to dream big, pursue their passions with determination and strive for excellence in all they do.

We nurture their confidence to believe — in themselves, in their abilities, and in the power of teamwork and respect.

We celebrate when our students achieve — recognising that success comes from perseverance, resilience, and a willingness to grow. 

Our curriculum aims to:

  • Provide children with meaningful qualifications and opportunities which enable them to be successful and achieve within school, in their lives and in their work after leaving us.
  • Help each child become a successful learner who is confident, happy and fulfilled, with a set of traits (PRIDE) that guides their conduct and supports them to become responsible citizens who can make a positive contribution to society.

Our PRIDE values are set out below. At George Mitchell both students and staff believe that "Everything we do, we do with PRIDE":

Perseverance – Enjoy The Challenge

Respect – Be Kind, Be Safe

Independence – Think For Yourself

Diversity – Include Everybody

Excellence – Go above And Beyond
