Jervoise School Mission Statement To prepare our children to go into the world and make it a better place
In order to realise this The school will provide an environment and ethos which will facilitate opportunities to encourage childrens creative capacity in: developing the necessary skills and knowledge to make choices that have positive consequences in their own lives, those of their families, communities, local, national and international. (Teach the children to be good choosers) overcoming cultural conditioning to become world citizens. developing their ability to be authentic, true to themselves, self aware, confident and honest.

In order to realise this we acknowledge and apply the understanding that each child has different needs and aptitudes. Our school routines, curriculum and pastoral care systems are all filtered through this statement to ensure it remains the key focus of Jervoise school
