Sutton Grammar School

Ethos Statement

Excellence

We strive to reach a standard of excellence in everything that we do. From tasks and activities inside and outside the classroom, to being a role-model and ambassador for the School. Excellent effort and participation are on a par with excellent academic outcomes.

“Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.”― Will Durant, American historian and philosopher

Integrity

We aim to always be honest and hardworking, and to take decisions and actions informed by our principles. We will act with good character when we are unwatched as watched.

I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to what light I have.
Abraham Lincoln, 16th President of the United States

Kindness

We will endeavour to make kindness a feature of all interactions in our School. We are friendly, generous and considerate.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
The 14th Dalai Lama, Tibetan Buddhist leader

Community

Our strength comes from our tolerance, inclusivity and cohesion. A sense of belonging to an SGS family that will last beyond our years at school. Seeking to serve more than just ourselves.

Education is for improving the lives of others and for leaving your community and world better than you found it.
Marian Wright Edelman, Civil Rights activist
