Welcome

Our Parents’ Handbook is intended to be a useful working document. In it we have tried to gather:

Essential information about the School we think you need and wider information about the Senior School and Junior School you might find interesting. There is also some detailed information about the Junior School and Senior School and the School’s policies.

This Handbook is subject to regular review and details may change during the year. It will be published on the School’s website and we will place an updated version there when revisions occur. Please do contact us if you have any suggestions for improvement or issues you would like clarified.

 

School Aims

Our aim at Newcastle School for Boys is to develop happy, confident, well-rounded and reliable young men, academically and socially prepared for life in the 21^st Century.

Specifically we aim:

to be a happy school where learning is both challenging and enjoyable.

to pursue academic success and to enable boys to grow in knowledge, skills and understanding within a dynamic learning environment.

to create an ethos – intellectual, pastoral, creative, physical, spiritual and moral - in which each boy is purposefully involved and is encouraged in accordance with his needs and abilities to develop his special talents to the full.

to develop young men of integrity, social conscience, warmth and courage who are aware of the need for service to others.

to be a supportive, orderly, respectful and civilised community. We seek to achieve this through self-discipline and pride in the School.

to work in partnership with parents to promote the welfare of all the boys and to establish sound relationships based on mutual trust.
