Our school has an extremely positive ethos, with very strong pastoral and academic guidance and a real emphasis on learning. We believe that the support, care and welfare of our students are second to none. This school is, and will always be, fully inclusive and puts the students at the very centre of all that we do. We believe that it is a happy, safe and enjoyable place to be with a purposeful atmosphere. We also want the school to be at the very heart of the local community and to be the school of choice of all who live here. Students are encouraged and supported throughout their time at George Stephenson High School to achieve highly and fulfill their potential in all aspects of school life. We believe that the learning environment we provide allows students to grow and develop academically, socially and personally into responsible, caring and confident young people.
