Learner Qualities

undefined

At St George’s, we have identified our own Learner Qualities. The skills, values and attitudes that our Learner Qualities promote work in symbiosis with our vision. They form a key part of everyday language at St. George's and their application is modelled and made explicit across the curriculum and throughout the learning day. They provide the bedrock through which our pupils can fulfil the call to action that is our vision and culture statement. 

Our vision and culture statement Be brave. Be great.  Be you. We are fun. We are together.
