Aims & Values
The St Neot’s Way is
Where we promote a true sense of community, family values, a love of the outdoors and a commitment to having fun.
Where every child comes into school feeling safe, valued and with a broad smile on their face; and who returns home with uplifting stories to tell.
Where a first class, personalised, rigorous academic journey is matched by an enriching, broad and challenging co-curricular programme.
Where the children’s character, contribution and service is as valued as their academic success.
Where the children’s physical wellbeing is surpassed by their mental wellbeing.
Where highly skilled, passionate and dedicated teachers, working in first class facilities, are full of ambition for themselves and the children in their care.
Values
St Neot's is a school where family values are promoted and celebrated. It defines who we are as a school and how we engage with each other.
Our school values are born out of our School Values Day where children, staff, parents and Governors were all asked to contribute to what our core school values should be. As a community this brings St Neot's together with a shared purpose and vision.
The 5 Pillars
-
Coming to St Neot’s is to join a warm and welcoming community for parents and children alike. We are non-selective and co-educational throughout, and everyone is welcome, aged 2 to 13. We actively encourage the parent body to come on site for regular coffee mornings, the odd tennis match and of course, for all school events. New parents will soon feel part of the St Neot’s family.
-
We are a school driven by core family values. Our children are kind, polite, respectful and hard working. These attributes are as important to us as any exam result and our pupils excel in these areas.
-
We are determined that our children not only learn outdoors but learn about the outdoors. We have an amazing 70-acre site and outdoor learning is a timetabled subject throughout the school. All children are encouraged to play in the woods at every opportunity and overnight campouts are a regular feature from Year 4.
-
We are unapologetically ambitious for every child in our care and also for the school as a whole. We are determined to provide the very best provision we can. Our amazing facilities are a reflection of our commitment to continually seeking the very best for our children.
-
A St Neot’s education is full of fun and good humour. Our children and staff love coming into school. Drop-off is always full of smiles, laughter and enthusiasm for the day ahead. A child having fun is a child who is going to learn.
