At John Colet School we want students to progress both academically and in terms of their character. They can achieve the first of these goals with the support of staff, by having a positive attitude to learning in the classroom and showing determination and effort to succeed in everything they undertake. A student's character is formed first and foremost at home under the guidance and example of parents and carers. In school a wide range of extracurricular opportunities in which students are able to participate and lead will ensure that the young people in our care leave as well-developed individuals of good character who are confident and capable to make a contribution to society.
