Our Ethos

Fens School is dedicated to the pursuit of high standards in all aspects of school life, academic, creative, inter-personal skills and citizenship.

We encourage our pupils to be caring, self-motivated and independent. They are secure in the knowledge that they will be treated fairly as equals, with compassion and respect. We hope that this atmosphere will develop pupils with high self-esteem who are able to achieve their full potential.
