Durham House

INDENDE SUCCEDERE

(STRIVE TO SUCCEED)

I am proud to have inherited a house with a passion for success and the moto which means Strive to succeed.

As Head of Durham house I will continue to strive for this. I will lead by example and aim to create an environment in which students feel secure and engage in excellent learning. Providing a platform for all students within the house to achieve their potential.

Durham House values are very important to me and my expectations as a Head of House are in line with the Harris School values.

These include

Harmonious – Students to be considerate towards each other within a harmonious school environment.

Aspirational – to feel that they can achieve their potential

Responsible – To take responsibility for their own actions

Respectful – To be respectful to one another in our school and in the wider community

Inspirational – To be inspirational to others as the students grow through the school years

Sociable – To enjoy their time in Durham House and form sound relationships.
