‘Raising aspirations in partnership with families and the community.’
This is a vision for our school where each student’s progress is remarkable. We focus on the whole educational experience for each student, aiming for success in examinations and the other aspects of school life, sports, the arts, leadership and extra-curricular activities.
The confidence and skills students gain, ensure pathways to university and the world of work. This can only be achieved by working with families and a range of community partners.
It is leadership that delivers the culture and the vision, so we came together as a staff and defined the qualities we expect from each other.
Each member of staff makes a commitment to:
• Promote South Wirral High School’s values and beliefs
• Demonstrate vision and inspiration
• Demonstrate good interpersonal skills
• Being a learning professional
• Involving supporting and developing colleagues
• Being active and creative
• Being organised and strategic
The personal qualities of leadership define the culture that delivers our vision.
