Welcome to New Leaf School

The staff and Governors are committed to making a positive impact on the lives of every young person who attends New Leaf School. We passionately believe that every young person attending New Leaf is capable of achieving strong personal and academic progress through our caring and nurturing approach.

Our core values underpin everything we do:

  • Empathy

  • Empowerment
  • Integrity
  • Inclusivity

Inspire

Our commitment to nurturing student-centred approaches supports and inspires young people to:

  • Demonstrate resilience and determination in overcoming challenges they face both within and beyond school.
  • Become motivated by their own personal and academic successes.
  • Aspire to fulfil their potential as lifelong learners.

Believe

We believe in preparing young people for the future by providing a high-quality, broad and balanced inclusive curriculum that promotes:

  • Key core values, skills and knowledge in which equality is promoted and difference is celebrated.
  • The development of flexible, adaptable learners who embrace challenge, communicate efficiently and work collaboratively.
  • Social, emotional, physical and intellectual development.

Our supportive community values and nurtures personal and academic progress. High expectations of staff, students, parents and carers lead to young people:

  • Achieving personal, social, and academic success.
