SEDBERGH SPIRIT

Enabling children to develop positive attitudes and behaviour is vitally important to us at Sedbergh International Summer School. The Sedbergh SPIRIT is at the heart of everything we do, reflecting the ethos and values of the Sedbergh family. Values that include:  

Self-motivation – a pupil that wants to work hard and do well, is enthusiastic about what they do, active in lessons, activities and in the house. 

Perseverance – a pupil that does not stop trying when things get difficult; they continue to try hard. 

Independence – a pupil with their own goals and interests and an understanding of what they want to do. Independent pupils are self-reliant and understand the importance of ‘doing the right thing’ at all times. If another student asks them to do something they think is wrong, they won’t do it. 

Resilience – a pupil who can adapt to new environments, asking for help when needed and embracing challenges as they arise.

Imagination – a pupil that can think of new and different ways of doing things and can use this to be creative. 

Teamwork – a pupil that can work with other people, helping the group be better and get more done. 

 

We aim to create a unique environment for the development of our young people and believe that children best develop skills and attitudes when they are inspired. With fun and enjoyment at the very heart of delivery, pupils are supported throughout their stay as they develop the behaviours inspired by GOLD, namely: 

  • Growth
  • Originality
  • Leadership
  • Determination
