Respect is a fundamental value here at Stringer. Mutual respect between staff and students creates an atmosphere that allows students to explore ideas and express respectful opinions without fear of criticism.  

The positive attitude of our students to learning stems from our teaching that everyone should, ‘work with anyone and respect everyone’. We expect all students to be kind to others, and for their attitude and behaviour to help everyone learn.  

We treat everyone’s differences and views with equal respect, valuing diversity and encouraging a tolerant, open-minded view of society. We create a safe and inspiring place to learn and a community of learners who respect, value and learn from staff and peers. Our students say that respect at Stringer feels like ‘being safe’, ‘being heard’, ‘being included’, and feels good.
