About Bannockburn High School
Our School Values
(refreshed in during session 2023/24)
We are committed to the education of the whole person – moral, intellectual, social and physical. We welcome all who wish to be part of our school and we aim to create in our school a community of learning in which our ASPIRE values permeate everything we do.
We are extremely proud of our school and our positive ethos which promotes community engagement. This is reflected in our Parent Council, Pupil Improvement Teams and our many varied partnerships.
At Bannockburn High School we place values and the concept of the common good at the centre of our school’s aims and the formation of character, at the heart of our school’s endeavours.
Our School Aims
As a school community, we encourage each other to be ambitious and to aim high, to build self-esteem, in order that we grow and develop as individuals and as a learning community. We are fully committed to delivering the very highest levels of support, both universal and targeted, taking a child-centred approach which promotes and supports wellbeing, inclusion, equality and fairness. We take great pride in our school, in ourselves, in each other and in the local community. Our young people are our greatest asset and we are exceptionally proud to be part of their journey. We are inclusiveand welcome all who wish to be part of our school and aim to create a community of learning in which all barriers to education are removed. We recognise the increasing complexities of the world our young people are growing up in and the need to build resilience.
Our approaches to health and wellbeing help to build and develop physical and mental health, as well as ensuring that our young people feel connected, both to their school community and to each other. Finally, as a school community, we strive to be the best we can be, and we know that to achieve our potential requires the very highest levels of effort: we work hard consistently, giving every situation and opportunity our best, even in the face of challenge. Together we embody our school values in everything that we do and in everything that we are. In Bannockburn High School, along with the Bannockburn Learning Community, we ASPIRE to shape the brightest future for all.
a message from the Head Teacher…
n the life of any young person, only a very few people are granted the role and extraordinary privilege of influencing their personal growth development. It is therefore a great honour and privilege to be Head Teacher of Bannockburn High School – a school which has a staff of extraordinary dedication and commitment and an extremely supportive group of parents and carers. However, the most impressive thing about our school is its young people.
At Bannockburn High School we place values and the concept of the common good at the centre of our school’s aims and the formation of character, at the heart of our school’s endeavours.
Our school is a community of hope and optimism, a dynamic and vibrant place, brimming full of confidence where our young people, our hope for the future, flourish. We are committed to ensuring that our young people leave our school with skills for life, learning and work, appropriate qualifications and believing in values such as Ambition, Support, Pride, Inclusion, Resilience and Effort.
