The School community
We understand that we are preparing young people for a future, which is increasingly hard to predict. The skills they learn at school will equip them for life as adults in this rapidly changing world. We know that with us they can achieve their full academic potential and therefore maximize their chances of future success in all areas of their lives. Attendance, punctuality and academic monitoring are essential elements in the work of the pastoral teams. Rewarding good work is seen as a positive way of promoting achievement.
We do this by awarding certificates, commendations, cups and prizes and displaying students' work. Regular assemblies are held as they are important to the development of the corporate spirit of the school, to reinforce the, school's ethos, culture and climate. Restorative approaches are used to deal with wrong doing. School provides many opportunities for students to participate and achieve in extra-curricular activities. The physical education department organizes many clubs for students. All students entering the school from age 5 to 16 are placed in one of four houses for pastoral care. These form a 'family' and allow students of all ages from the same family to be in the same house.
The students are also supported by the care and activities of the MREBHS team. We insist on high quality teaching, consistency of expectations, high standards of work and behavior and of independent study. Learning opportunities are provided through a range of strategies and learning styles using Psychological Teaching Methodology (PTM) across all curriculum areas and in every classroom. All students are required to maintain a wide range of subjects of study up to age 16 in order to provide a broad and solid foundation for future career opportunities Our gifted and talented students are identified and monitored and there are special activities and learning opportunities to ensure that they are challenged to stretch themselves as learners.
