Core Values - Summerdown School

Values and aspirations

The values and aspirations of Summerdown School will reflect those of the Southfield Trust. 

At The Southfield Trust we are focused on preparing our pupils/students for the next stage in their lives, whether that be transitioning from home to a new school setting, moving to another phase of education, or entering the world of training and employment beyond the age of 16.

We believe all of our pupils/students have right to be happy, to be heard, to participate and to contribute. We have expressed this belief in core aspirations for our pupils/students and interpreted them in sets of values for each school.
