Our Values
“All pupils at Tower College RISE to their true potential”
Resilience
Resilience is the mental reservoir of strength that Tower College Pupils are able to call on in times of need to carry them through challenging times. Psychologists believe that resilient individuals are better able to handle adversity and rebuild their lives after a struggle.
This does not mean that they experience less distress, grief, or anxiety than other people do. It means that they use healthy coping skills to handle such difficulties in ways that foster strength and growth. In many cases, they may emerge even stronger than they were before.
Integrity
Happiness is a way of life at Tower College, and we actively encourage all pupils to reflect on the happiness they bring to others in their community. This can take the form of kindness to classmates or enrolling as part of our own flagship Charity Ambassador programme.
We aim to provide our pupils with the opportunities and support to achieve not only excellent academic progress, but to also gain fundamental life skills such as finding their own strong voice, being outward-looking as a kind and considerate responsible citizen.
Scholarship
A life-long love of learning is a gift to all that receive this mindset. Tower College pupils are encouraged to develop a growth mindset from an early age, and through a culture of encouragement, opportunity and challenge, our pupils develop the independence and confidence to achieve their true academic potential.
Our pupils will often outperform their baseline data by a significant margin and go on to impress and over-achieve at top local sixth-form college and universities.
Our GCSE results speak for themselves, and our recent ranking of 11th in the Sunday Times Top Schools Guide has to be the academic highlight of 2021.
Enrichment
Enriching experiences are the cornerstone of a life well-lived, and this begins in childhood at Tower College. Pupils of all ages take part in actively shaping their school experience, and pupils in Middle and Upper school will choose their enrichment activities, in consultation with their parents and teachers, in order to discover new talents and pursue their unique passions.
Tower College aims to give each pupil a well-rounded education – teaching our pupils for life, not just to pass exams. It encourages an inclination to branch out, keeping all possibilities open for a future full of potential.
