It gives me great pleasure to introduce myself as the Headteacher of Tring School. It is heartening to lead a school where the vision and Christian values are centred on maximising the potential in every young person. By supporting your child's individual aspirations and dreams, the wider community also benefits.
An education is very powerful and can change lives for the better. There can be no excuse for any of us in this partnership for not doing our utmost to encourage our children's desire to learn, explore opportunities and seek continuous improvement. The students at Tring School are a credit to their families, the School and the community.
They are polite, courteous, and value honesty and trustworthiness. These qualities create young people with outstanding characters who will be ready for their next steps in life. We summarise this ethos into creating Confident Learners (wisdom), Ambitious Individuals (hope) and Responsible Citizens (community).
