Vision and Values

Crispin’s vision and values are summed up in three words: Aspiration, Compassion and Excellence.

We want students to aspire to do their best in all areas of their lives, both at school and beyond.

We want students to be compassionate and focus on the ‘we as well as the I’. It is an expectation that all members of our community will treat each other with respect and we will all look out for those who may be struggling from time to time.

We want students to aspire for excellence in all areas of school life both within, and outside, of the classroom.

We aim to provide the highest standards of education for all students. Every child matters greatly at Crispin and we seek to ensure all students do as well as they possibly can across all areas of school life. Students are encouraged to try new ideas, not to be afraid of failure and to increase their resilience.

We unashamedly promote traditional values of respect, good manners and hard work but harness these within an education preparing students for the challenges and opportunities of the future.

All members of our community are expected to conduct themselves in line with ‘The Crispin Way’ which stresses the importance of responsibility, readiness, effort, being kind and happy and a sense of community.

We recognise that qualifications are the keys to doors which open further opportunities and we prepare students well to ensure success in their final stages with us. Children who come to Crispin will develop creatively, intellectually and broaden their horizons.

Through membership of our community, and the curriculum more specifically, we serve to ensure that students leave Crispin as knowledgeable, inquisitive, and compassionate citizens ready to play a full and positive role in society.
