We clearly communicate our mission, values and drivers throughout every day so that the whole school community knows the purpose of everything that we do.

For students to meet our high expectations, we know that we need to invest in building very strong relationships with parents, carers and families. Tanfield School encourages your involvement. We want you to play an active part in your child’s education and to support our staff as they carry out their responsibilities with your child.

We play by the rules. We are respectful, polite, kind and courteous at all times. We don’t take advantage of others and helping a member of our team is helping ourselves.

We clearly communicate our mission, values and drivers throughout every day so that the whole school community knows the purpose of everything that we do. We know why we move around school in the way that we do, we know why we wear our uniform in the way that we do and we know why we look at the speaker in all of our lessons.

Through rigour, simplicity and a relentless focus on success, all students work hard every day to climb the mountain to university or real alternative.
