Our mission
At George Watson's College we aim to provide a world-class education for children and young people from Preschool (age 3/4) to S6 (age 17/18) and to encourage pupils to develop a love of learning through an inspiring curriculum and extensive and inclusive enrichment programme.
Despite our size, it is regularly remarked that we still have a small-school ‘feel’: the close-knit and friendly relationships embedded throughout our community are a hallmark of the School. Our motto – Ex Corde Caritas (Love from the Heart) – is central to our values as we seek to sustain what is described as ‘The Watson’s Family’.
We share a simple set of core values which runs through everything we do.
Aim high. We are ambitious for ourselves and others, always seeking to be the best we can be as individuals and as a school.
Join in.We are inclusive in what we do and how we do it, we want our pupils to feel confident in taking part and contributing in all aspects of school life and we play an active part in the life of our wider community.
Respect all. Everyone is different and we celebrate that difference in everyone, respecting them and the unique contribution that they will make to our world.
Be kind. Our Motto is Ex Corde Caritas “Love from the Heart” and we aspire to live up to that motto every day.
Equal = equal
