Ethos

Captain Shaw’s provides education in a caring, family environment, which supports and encourages pupils to reach their full potential, no matter what their starting point. We are aspirational for all our pupils and aim to prepare them for life within the community and in the wider world. We strive to provide a well-balanced, diverse and exciting curriculum, which engages and motivates all pupils. We value our natural environment and believe strongly in providing opportunities to explore and learn in the outdoors. We enable our pupils to develop acceptance, empathy and understanding of people and communities in Britain and in the wider world. Our ethos is guided by Christian principles and enhanced by strong links with our local churches and our community.
