At Stoke Newington School, we aim to teach students the necessary skills, knowledge and understanding students need to lead a joyful, independent life and navigate their way through society.

Through exploring their own thoughts and feelings, and their potential impact on society, the environment, and the lives of others, students are taught to make conscientious decisions that reflect both the needs and challenges of thriving in modern British society.

We want our students to:

  • Be responsible, respectful and active citizens who are tolerant of all people.
  • Understand the fundamental British values of democracy, individual liberty, the rule of law and mutual respect and tolerance.
  • Understand that individual characteristics and differences are positive.
  • Develop their own character and find their own motivation.
  • Understand the importance of physical and mental health.
  • Understand what healthy relationships look like.
  • Have learned about various careers and post-16 and post-18 pathways and are able to transition to their next stage successfully.
