Our School Ethos
At FCC we believe that hard work and determination are the building blocks of both examination success and ultimately greater life chances. We believe that a student’s time here should be an experience to evoke a lifetime of memories, build strong friendships and be a place where creativity, innovation and resilience is nurtured and celebrated.
Vision & Values
Kindness, Honesty and Respect
We cultivate kindness and compassion, creating a welcoming, inclusive learning space for everyone.
We place kindness at the heart of everything we do, as we believe acts of kindness are powerful and potentially life changing.
We develop honesty and integrity in all members of our community. We recognise that being honest and truthful, when mistakes have been made, is brave and shows character and a growth mindset.
We foster respect for ourselves, each other and our school environment. We believe that adopting a respectful attitude towards others, even when we disagree, develops understanding, tolerance and empathy.
We do this in the spirit of trust and cheerfulness.
Values, Culture and Character
FCC raises aspirations, creates opportunities, develops character and changes lives.
Our core purpose is to provide everyone with the confidence to be the best they can be.
Better people make better schools.
Equality
At FCC we believe that everyone is equal regardless of background, beliefs, culture, gender or sexual orientation. We strive to promote and ensure equality in all areas of the school community without exception.
British Values
At FCC we recognise both the importance of allowing students to flourish academically but also learn to embrace their role in a diverse society by learning to celebrate, promote and reinforce British values and the importance of mutual respect, individual liberty, democracy and the law.
