Founded in the 1960s, we have gone from strength-to-strength, innovating education over the years for 11–18-year-olds. With our built-to-last mantra, we strive to offer an engaging educational experience. What we do and how we do it is underpinned by our ethos of ‘Pride, Respect and Achieve’.
The well-being and success of our students is at the centre of The Garibaldi School vision. The school is a safe environment where students can feel comfortable, well supported and confident.
We believe that it is our duty to develop the aspirations of our students and we encourage students to set high standards for themselves. As a result, targets are high and we expect high quality teaching and a personalised approach to learning to support our students to achieve.
Our students take pride in themselves and in being a part of The Garibaldi School. We help students develop teamwork and leadership skills. Most importantly our students learn how to respect themselves and others. We are clear in the way that we expect our students to conduct themselves with all members of our community. Therefore, by the time our students leave, they have gained the skills, qualities and qualifications needed for a successful future.
