VISION AND CULTURE

We are passionate about excellence in education, giving students the very best start in life with a firm belief that excellent teaching transforms lives. Our core belief is that for all students to have high aspirations they must believe in themselves, be actively engaged in their learning and see the connection between what they learn today and who they want to become tomorrow. We teach a highly challenging academic curriculum for all students. We are unapologetically ambitious for every child, no matter what their background, prior attainment or needs. Everything we do at Tanfield is driven by this, so that our students can leave Tanfield with the best set of qualifications possible and as well rounded young people, thereby helping to maximise their life chances.

This vision is outlined in our Mission Statement, 3 values and 3 drivers:

At Tanfield School we have many minds but one mission: to get students to attend the best university, or real alternative, succeed in their dream job and thrive in all aspects of their life.

Our core values of hard work, trust and fairness permeate all that we do. From the moment a student arrives at Tanfield, we ask them to live these values:

Hard work

We never give up. We remain positive so that we have the strength to persevere with even the hardest work. We do what it takes for as long as it takes.

Trust

We are honest. We do what we say we’ll do and do not make excuses. We are loyal and have the courage to do the right thing.

Fairness

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.
