About Lift Schools
Every child has immeasurable potential. It is our job to help realise it.

Looking after the whole child
But there is more to education than results – just as there is more to any child than their performance in an exam. We want to nurture the whole child, fostering their talents and strengths.
We also want our schools to be fun places – somewhere our pupils are happy to arrive every morning, and somewhere they leave each afternoon filled with ideas and enthusiasm. We want our enjoyment of learning to be infectious.
And we want school to be a place of adventure and discovery, where children can explore, challenge themselves, fail safely, succeed proudly and – most importantly – learn.
