We have distilled each of our six World Ready components into one over-arching strategic aim as we look towards 2030.
We aim to:
- Build a culture of care that supports every child.
- Ensure every student reaches their full academic potential.
- Enable every child to find and develop a co-curricular passion.
- Equip students with the employability and enterprise skills to succeed in a rapidly changing modern workplace.
- Help students engage constructively to form their own perspectives on complex societal issues, while always respecting other viewpoints.
- Broaden students’ horizons through meaningful connections locally and globally.
- Fulfil the College values of Engagement, Compassion, Resilience and Collaboration.
Our Supporting Aims
To support these educational aims, the College seeks to:
- Maintain a school at optimal size and with a healthy co-educational balance.
- Recruit, retain and develop outstanding staff.
- Engage parents in strong parent-school partnerships through effective communication and building high-trust relationships.
- Communicate the College’s VAT plan to mitigate the tax burden and protect the integrity of students’ school experience.
- Widen access to the College through building the endowment for means-tested bursaries.
- Invest in the campus infrastructure and facilities to deliver educational aims and ensure operational efficiency.
Our Values
Ardingly is a values-led school and World Ready is a values-led education that values above all the personal qualities of our students. The College has Christian foundations and we seek to express Christian values in a way that is meaningful for children regardless of their personal faith.
“Leaders successfully foster the values of engagement, compassion, resilience and collaboration. These values are prominently and successfully promoted."
