Culture
Culture is what it feels like to be a member of our school community. Every individual, students and staff contribute to our culture every day. Culture is what people who visit our school would see, hear and experience and what they would tell others about our school. Our culture is very important to us.
We are very proud of our culture as it is one of:
- opportunity for all
- high expectations and aspirations of everyone
- successful young people and professionals
- achievement and continued development for all
- respect and tolerance for others
Our students are given a wealth of opportunities to thrive in our school, both in the classroom and through a wide range of other activities such as, but not limited to those below:
- Taught curriculum
- Careers advice and guidance
- Curriculum Plus Programme
- D of E
- Club Class
- Carlton Learner rewards
- Knowledge Acquisition and Oracy
- PSHE, RSE and the wider curriculum
- Leadership opportunities
In order to provide such an extensive curriculum and wider offer, our students follow some tight routines in what we do and how we do them. These provide structure and a climate in which every young person can achieve and where each adult can do their job to the very best of their ability.
Student phones in school
All students in Years 7-11 are expected to have their phones in phone pouches. This is to ensure that school days are distraction free and that we also meet statutory DfE guidance around the use of phones in school.
