Marlborough's Aims and Values

A Rising Tide Lifts All Ships

Our Vision:

To bring the world to our children and prepare them to go into the world as citizens who value life and learning.

Our Aims:

We value ourselves as unique human beings capable of spiritual, moral, intellectual and physical growth and development. 

We value others for themselves, not only for what they have or what they can do for us. We value relationships as fundamental to the development and fulfilment of ourselves and others, and to the good of the community.

We value truth, freedom and justice. We value love and mutual support, a society in which people care for others and work for the common good. 

We value the environment as the basis of life and a source of wonder and inspiration.

 

 

As a rising tide lifts all ships, so shall Marlborough School’s aspiration for excellence raise the expectations and achievements of all our members.
