Values Passport
The Values Passport was developed following suggestions from our 2022-2023 Head Girl Team, Annabel Mair, Chloe de Gouveia and Michaela Taylor, with input from representatives of the Student Council.
Its purpose is:
- To encourage and celebrate members of our community in living our values: Aspire, Inquire, Excel, Belong
- To help students enrich their cultural, academic and social experience in and beyond College
How does it work?
- Students can log completion of activities linked to the values (no evidence is required, we trust and celebrate!)
- Tutors will be able to review the Passport with students in mentoring sessions and in other conversations
- Tutors will be able to identify any barriers to students accessing these opportunities
- Students can go back and complete a Lower School activity in the Upper School (but they won't be able to tick off a Sixth Form activity in the Lower School)
