About

Ethos and Values School Life Our Ethos John Lyon has a richly deserved reputation for providing an excellent all-round education that combines high academic standards with excellence in Sport and the Arts and outstanding pastoral care. The School is a friendly and purposeful place.

Learning is both broad and deep, and we offer a unique education that embraces opportunity and excellence both within and beyond the classroom. At John Lyon every pupil matters. John Lyon has a clear set of values that are vital to our community. Our Values shape who we are, what we do and how we do it. Each value is woven into School life and our admissions process.

Our Values are tangible and meaningful; they enable us to promote and teach a set of principles to our pupils that will help them thrive as happy individuals. Small form groups create a supportive culture where pupils are encouraged, by specialist staff, to follow their passions and develop new skills.

We are driven, self-motivated, have a can-do mindset and strive for constant improvement in all our endeavours. We achieve the highest standards in our endeavours.
