High expectations
At Bohunt School Worthing, we maintain that respect is the essential link between enjoyment and achievement. Our teachers are passionate for, and expert in, the subjects they teach; they always go the extra mile to provide unparalleled learning experiences. Challenging our students to think critically and creatively beyond the taught timetable.
We view learning as an iterative process that involves taking calculated risks, embracing inevitable mistakes, and ultimately achieving success. Our commitment to high expectations transcends the classroom, as we explicitly teach, model, and enforce a high standard of respect. A culture of high expectations necessitates a strong culture of learning across the school, enabling students to gain exam success, which is essential to providing positive life choices for all students, and is fundamental within our core values of ‘enjoy respect achieve’.
