At Sheridan School our vision is to provide a learning environment and ethos that is based on SCARF principles, TIS and the Thrive approach.

Offering a broad, balanced and inclusive curriculum through high quality teaching, accessible and adapted for all, pupils can embed core skills and explore subjects of personal interest becoming enthusiastic learners with enquiring minds. We aim to prepare pupils not only for their next academic steps but to support their personal development too.

We want all pupils to have an aspirational mind set. To be reflective; able to recognise and celebrate personal achievements and resilience; open to developing new ways of thinking and taking on challenges.

We foster a culture of kindness, where each individual feels heard, valued and respected through building trusted, positive relationships with staff and peers.

We believe that when pupils feel safe, happy and confident they can reach their full potential.
