BISHOP JUSTUS Church of England School
Success Through Faith, Love and Learning At Bishop Justus outstanding leaders drive improvement and embed ambition. All students take responsibility for their own learning and everyone has the opportunity to be a leader. Students are encouraged to recognise and develop their own leadership skills as they move through the school. There are opportunities to provide peer mentoring to others, work alongside teachers to develop teaching and learning, and contribute to the development of the school through the sixth form prefect system. Leadership stretches beyond the confines of the classroom through activities such as the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and the Career Ready programme or through the mentoring of younger learners in primary schools across the Trust. Strong student role models and ongoing training contribute to our leadership aspirations. Pride in the school uniform is led by our older sixth form students who wear smart business dress and demonstrate an exceptional work ethic in pursuit of the highest academic standards. All groups are represented on the student council which contributes significantly to the ongoing development of the school and plays a particular leadership role in many important equality issues.
