We address the diverse needs and aspirations of our students, offering an excellent foundation in all aspects of learning, to challenge and prepare them for a successful future.
Personal Development
Les Varendes High School and Sixth Form Centre recognises and nurtures each student as a unique person. We are dedicated to developing in our students the qualities and skills necessary to become safe, healthy, confident, self-motivated and independent individuals prepared for the responsibilities of adult life and their own economic well-being.
Tolerance and Awareness
Les Varendes High School and Sixth Form Centre actively promotes respect and tolerance as well as environmental and social awareness. We encourage our students to make a positive contribution and become committed and valued members of our school and, by supporting internationalism and inter-culturalism, responsible citizens of the world.
Embedding Technologies
Les Varendes High School & Sixth Form Centre recognises that digital literacy is essential in preparing all our students to participate in the rapidly changing world in which we learn, work and play. Through embedding technologies we wish to personalise students learning, increase engagement and expand their tools to enable independent and life-long learning. We aim to develop a learning community where all our members are empowered by technology and are able to make informed judgments about when and where to use it to best effect.
