“‘Success Is An Attitude”

About

At Everest we recognise the importance of academic success whilst embracing our wider role in preparing students for their adult life beyond the formal examined curriculum.

We have a unique, bespoke curriculum based on five strands which we think provide our students with the skills they need for the 21st Century - active bodies, healthy minds, future ready, global citizen and creative confidence. Click on our curriculum page to learn more!

We have excellent, highly professional, specialist teachers in every area and we are proud to be one of the most improved schools in Hampshire. We provide a supportive yet vibrant environment through which we nurture confident, ambitious students who embrace community and tolerance and have high aspirations.We are committed to excellence in learning and teaching, and our priority as a school is to ensure our students achieve more than they thought possible.

Our students are challenged to work harder than they ever have before to fully prepare them for the rigours of the new examination landscape. We offer a broad and balanced curriculum and as a school encourage each student’s particular abilities to ensure that no child slips through the net. The school’s ethos is simple - our students are at the heart of everything we do and success it an attitude.

About Bourne Education Trust

As part of the Bourne Education Trust, we believe in shared values and culture, while celebrating the unique identity of our school, expressed through our curriculum and teaching styles. We firmly reject the 'one size fits all' approach, fostering a culture of sharing best practices and innovative ideas. This year, our Trust-wide priorities revolve around sustainability and social justice, providing numerous opportunities for staff to engage with these essential themes.

As a BET school we benefit from localism to promote academic excellence and the holistic development of our students with the support of a central team, and fellow school leaders, offering a wealth of experience in education, recruitment, marketing, HR, finance, capital projects, and IT. Education Directors also oversee clusters of schools, providing invaluable guidance and mentorship.
