Values and vision

I am proud to welcome you to Fearnhill School. We are a learning community where challenge, excellence and co-operation are our core values. We offer a positive and successful learning environment where all our students can achieve to the highest possible standard, within a framework of strong relationships. A Fearnhill student is a young person who is ready to take their place in a challenging and complex world because of their understanding of themselves and others, their knowledge and skills and their readiness to take on new challenges. Fearnhill students build a level of mutual respect between their peers and members of the school community and ensure that individuals are treated as equals, regardless of their differences. The school offers a wide range of extra-curricular activities for students to get involved in and gain new skills and interests outside of the classroom, ranging from art lessons to sports clubs. From Year 7 onwards, the school introduces students to careers education, allowing for them to gain aspirations and work towards their future career goals during their education.
