Aims and Ethos

Our aim is to empower each Northwood College pupil with the knowledge, insight and motivation to enter adult-hood a conscientious, ambitious, confident and happy member of society; one who is equipped to turn challenge into opportunity, to embrace change and innovation, to maintain a lifelong love of learning and to succeed in a path that is most advantageous to her individual strengths and aspirations.

Our ethos:

• we believe that strength of character is as important as academic success
• we act with compassion and integrity
• we ignite intellectual curiosity
• we understand that success and purpose stem from feeling valued and creating impact
• we recognise our global responsibility
• we challenge ourselves and build resilience
• we embrace innovation
• we foster joy

Relationships are excellent throughout the school, which is indeed a happy place: the pupils are very proud of it and feel a strong sense of belonging.
