# Ethos and Values

**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
