Home - Newstead Wood School

Our community is guided by the values of Compassion, Courage and Excellence.

These values shape our relationships, our learning and our aspirations. They are reflected in the way our students support one another, embrace challenge and strive to be the very best versions of themselves. They also underpin our school motto, Fortitudine Crescamus - through courage, let us grow. This motto reminds us that growth and success come from having the courage to challenge ourselves, to learn from setbacks, to seize opportunities and to pursue excellence in all that we do.
