Character Education at Thurstable
Thurstable School has a long vibrant history in the Tiptree community, stretching back to its founding in 1959. caregivers of our current children, local business owners and other members of the community that we serve have either attended Thurstable themselves or know someone who has.
We believe that memories of our time spent at school should be some of the fondest of our childhoods. It is these memories of school at the heart of a community that have the potential to permanently shape our lives. It is therefore a huge responsibility and a privilege to educate all children who step through our doors.
Central to our mission is ‘Growing Character’. We believe that everyone in the school community are responsible for educating the entire child. This responsibility is not to be taken lightly, as time spent in school by our students literally shapes their lives and can have transformative effects on them.
Our three school values are inescapable - you will see them everywhere and these values underpin everything we do. Our three values are:
ASPIRE RESPECT ENDEAVOUR
We endeavour to be a school of character. The children that join us in Year 7 will leave as young adults, provided with the foundations of good character required to face all of life's challenges. This is who we are as a school community and what we offer to our wider community of students, caregivers and all stakeholders.
