Sustainability & Global Citizenship
Learning: We are committed to meaningful and relevant learning that nurtures students as global citizens.
Through delivering innovative and world-changing education offerings that are wellbeing-focused, academically rigorous, socially and emotionally enriching, safe, holistic and world-class, we nurture leaders who are passionate and equipped to create solutions to the world’s problems, both today and in the future.
Planet: We are committed to maximising positive impact and minimising harm, with sustainable and regenerative ideas and practices for the planet.
We have embarked upon a carbon roadmap across all of our schools in a three-step process of carbon mapping, carbon reduction and carbon offsetting.
People: We are committed to working together as a rich and diverse community for the benefit of all.
To reflect this, we continually invest in staff through our “Accelerate” programme and have launched the Worldwise Alumni Network (WAN), which provides alumni with shared lifelong social and professional opportunities. We continue to focus on the health and safety of our students and staff, prioritising wellbeing and offering meaningful engagement as active citizens and through community participation.
Policy: We are committed to building the systems and strong organisational structures to support collective ambition.
We are compliant in all areas across all our schools, including rapidly developing our cybersecurity and data privacy capability and have established a robust internal Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) framework to ensure we hold ourselves accountable at all levels of our organisation.
Our academic curriculum is broad, including compulsory PE, Drama and Lifeskills at all year levels, a combination of internal and external courses, including courses developed to recognise student needs and interests, such as SE21, Digital Skills, Liberal Arts and History of Art. Our approach towards supporting English language learning, translanguaging – respects and honours the linguistic abilities of our students and their native languages.
Recently, a team of teachers have completed Compass Education's Systems Thinking for Sustainability in the Classroom programme, which will inform our curriculum development. We are also learning from the THRIVE programme, which aims to ensure our curriculum is inclusive to all learners.
With over 350 students in boarding, our boarding programme, tutorial programme – Dragon Spirit Time - small group mentoring, Lifeskills and assemblies, and social & emotional counselling supports the development of our students to thrive in our community.
We recognise the importance of educating our students to be confident in and aware of the world around them. We reflect on and develop opportunities for our students to involve themselves in service and charity projects, the Chinese Citizenship Curriculum and global citizenship education that is relevant and meaningful to them.
