Description
Lawrence Sheriff School is leading State Secondary school in Rugby. This is a Selective school for kids age 11 to 18 years. Gender - Boys
The vision is that we are a happy and successful school, where students know that they matter, that their voice is heard, and that they can and should achieve their very best. The ethos is that they put people at the centre of all that they do and they do things the right way. They listen to each other even if they have different points of view, they talk to each other respectfully and they always act considerately. The aim is that all students find joy at school and that this leads them to achieve well academically. The students achieve fantastic exam results through a curriculum that stretches them and is enriched. They are challenged to be Sheriff Learners by being curious, pro-active, resilient, reflective and organised; enabling them to confidently embrace and overcome whatever obstacles they may face. They are a community that is inclusive and celebrates diversity, and has the highest of expectations for behaviour and how we treat each other. The Student Council sums this up beautifully in the statement: ‘Fairness, Inclusivity, Respect - present in your mind, present in your actions.’
