Aims
At Charterhouse we aim to equip pupils to lead fulfilled and purposeful lives by providing an all-round education based on Christian values. Teaching and learning is at the heart of what we do, although this does not mean achieving only qualifications and passing examinations. A Charterhouse education should endure long after examination results are published. We value all our pupils as individuals with unique talents and interests and seek to instil:
Our Values
At Charterhouse we recognise that we each have a responsibility to reflect upon everything we have been given and strive to make the most of the opportunities available to us in order to live our motto: ‘Deo Dante Dedi’ – God having given, I gave.
Everything we do at Charterhouse is centred around living to our core set of values. They help steer how
we behave, learn and treat each other. They are embedded in and reflected upon in all aspects of school life. Of these, kindness – to ourselves and to others – is the most important and something we encourage in all pupils from their very first day.
We concentrate on educating the individual, to provide a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere where each child feels valued and can flourish. Every year we welcome children from a diverse range of
backgrounds and experiences; this enriches our community and is vital in preparing all our pupils for
today's world.
