Values and vision
St Sampson's High School aims to help motivate students by raising their expectations. Students are often encouraged to work effectively with each other in small group collaborative tasks and to be respectful of each other’s views and contributions. The school aims for students to make a significant contribution to their wider community through, for example, participation in sponsored events to raise school funds, support for local senior citizens’ care homes, raising funds for international disaster relief efforts and through acting as buddies and mentors for their junior peers. Importance is also placed on providing a broad range of activities and experiences planned beyond the classroom which enrich pupils’ learning. This is why the school prides itself on having strong links with local sports clubs in rugby, cricket, athletics and football with competitive school fixtures across a number of sports for both girls and boys at all stages. The school also looks to extend pupils’ experiences beyond the school through off-site visits to other facilities and centres within Guernsey (such as Footes Lane for athletics) and international visits beyond Guernsey (such as to France and Italy).
