Values and Ethos

Our Ethos and Values

Education changes everything: your horizons, your enjoyment and your economic situation. Everyone has a right to an education that will allow them to succeed and to live a happy and successful life.

We aim to stimulate and challenge our students’ minds in order for them to attain the highest academic achievement; however education is about more than this!

Our student mission is ‘Aim high. Work hard. Be kind’ and this is central to everything we do at Marriotts. We encourage our students to aim high : they should all have a dream and a goal in life. They might wish to become a doctor or a builder, a businessman or a university student, but whatever they wish to become they should aim high: be the best doctor or the best hairdresser.

We train our students to work hard, to know that nothing in life comes without our hard work and we help them to understand that effort now will help ensure their success in the future.

Finally and most importantly we expect all of our students and our staff to be kind: to treat others as they wish to be treated, to be respectful, fair and compassionate. Students should develop a sense of responsibility and pride towards their school and their community.

We are a family, a happy school and we provide an environment where everyone is given the chance to succeed. We have high expectations and do everything we can to help our students become well rounded young people ready to take their place in society. We are proud of all our students and if you take the opportunity to come and visit us we believe you will see why.

Our Vision

Every single student to reach and exceed their potential and leave us with the qualifications, knowledge, skills and attitudes that they need to move on to the next stage of their lives.
