STRATEGIC PLAN 2023-2028
Drawn up by the Council with input from our whole community, the STAHS Strategic Plan is a framework for the educational, organisational and capital development of the School, in line with our Vision, Values and Aims. All areas of our five-year strategy support our Teach to 25 agenda. From building state-of-the-art facilities to launching our new curriculum model, our School strategy is all about developing intellectually curious, ambitious young people who are confident in themselves and their convictions and are ready to embrace life’s opportunities.
EDI Strategy
The aim of our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion strategy is to provide a truly inclusive and diverse environment where every member of the community feels valued and respected for who they are, has a sense of belonging and is supported to be the best they can be. Providing such an environment lays the foundation for STAHS to deliver its educational vision to develop happy, resilient young people who will embrace opportunities and lead lives of consequence. The strategy was developed in consultation with a wide range of colleagues, pupils, parents and alumni and builds upon great work already taking place across the school.
