Ethos Statement

Our Ethos 

All ETB schools are State, Co-Educational, and Multi-Denominational. ETB ethos is underpinned by the core values of Excellence in Education, Care, Respect, Equality and Community.  

What is ethos?  

Ethos is how we live, work, and relate to each other in our school community. While it encompasses the curriculum and how it is taught, ethos relates to our shared core values, to the hidden curriculum, to decision making processes and to the relationships that underpin the daily life of our school culture.  

We strive to promote a child-centred approach in embracing the principles of developing the whole child and we emphasise the importance of physical, emotional, social and spiritual development as much as intellectual development. We aim to achieve this inspired by forest school education philosophy and outdoor learning.
