It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to Les Quennevais School.

Les Quennevais is an extremely high performing, welcoming and vibrant school where everyone is valued, respected and cared for. We believe in the power of education to transform lives and have unapologetically high expectations of all members of the school community. We are committed to our vision of Learning to be your best through excellence and enjoyment. What this conveys is a commitment to ‘personal excellence’ a culture in which every student is in the driving seat of their own personal academic progress and where the relative successes of everyone are celebrated and valued. The capacity for personal excellence is developed though a culture that stimulates scholarly curiosity and challenge. Our aim is for every student to experience extraordinary teaching, every lesson of every day. We benchmark the quality of our provision against the best schools in the UK and internationally to ensure our students develop a hunger for learning characterized by analytical thought, diligence and motivation. We believe all children are entitled to exceptional education and champion the progress of all our learners, irrespective of starting points; our ambition is for all our students to thrive.

Our curriculum is curated around the ‘3 C’s’, the guiding principles of: Curiosity, Coherence and Compassion. Curriculum schemata are structured intentionally for each cohort to ensure all learners develop appropriate levels of challenge and make exceptional progress. Our curriculum is a living entity which we are constantly reviewing and adapting to ensure it meets the needs of our learners. Great schools never stand still. We have a remarkably strong staff team and place a significant focus on staff development, to ensure our practice continues to evolve to encompass best practice internationally.

We seek to equip our learners with the knowledge, skills and attributes required to navigate and thrive in a world characterized by change. At the ‘CORE’ of our work is our ‘student profile’, that infuses our teaching and our super-curriculum. Our aim is to develop learners who are Compassionate, Optimistic, Resilient and Empathetic. Our focus on strong relationships and exceptional pastoral support provide the bedrock of our work. Our diverse and exciting range of opportunities for enrichment and learning outside the classroom give students the opportunity to grow in a broad range of contexts, enabling the development of happy, confident and ambitious students.

At Les Quennevais, Education does not stop at the end of the school day. We are committed to providing students with a vast range of experiences outside of the classroom which develop aptitudes and attributes the future world will need. This fun, engaging culture contributes to developing optimistic, happy students, who are confident, positive, resilient and endlessly hopeful.

We look forward to welcoming you to our school soon.

Yours Sincerely,

Mr J.G. Sindall MA. N.P.Q.H MCCT.
