ETHOS
Excelsior College is driven by ambition to achieve high standards. This is the basis of
our ethos and value system. This is supported and underpinned by the principle that each
pupil has a self determining responsibility, a responsibility, which we encourage
through our practices and which parents are asked to continue at home.
ACEDEMIC EXCELLENCE
Children are often required to originate ideas and develop them to presentation.
They are given the opportunity to interact with unfamiliar adults and other audiences
before whom they have to deliver a song, poem, play or take part in a competitive
debate involving complex issues with which they have to carry out independent
research (assisted by parent).
OPPORTUNITY
Children's ideas and opinions are invited, highly valued, explored positively and frequently
incorporated into their work which receives the appropriate acknowledgement in which this is
encouraged to flourish. Discussions are encouraged in which staff will generate ideas, expressed
through non-academic language to make links which are beyond discrete topic areas.
