Our school culture and values are child centred. All children should be considered as individuals. We want all children to feel safe and happy, and through this, students can learn, flourish and achieve long-term economic well-being. We promote strong positive relationships with adults and peers from transition into Stanley High School to the steps beyond Stanley High School.

Our students and staff should:

• Feel a sense of fulfilment through positive daily interactions in the classroom and beyond
• Be challenged to grow academically and feel safe to question personal beliefs
• Feel included through an inclusive and ambitious curriculum
• Accept and thrive by developing an understanding of the diverse nature of our Globe
• Be respected and proud of their protected characteristics and the equality of the rich opportunities they can access
• Seek ambition through careers education and a love of learning
• Be exposed to opportunities which allow all to Aspire, Challenge and Excel within our Stanley Family
