Excellence and effort in a caring environment.

Sumner is a truly wonderful school. Our fantastic children, excellent staff and incredibly supportive community and Board of Trustees makes Sumner School a very special place to be. We are focused on providing the best possible learning outcomes we can for all of our students by encouraging 'excellence and effort in a caring environment'.

At Sumner School we hold a fundamental belief that all students (but especially ours) learn best when they are happy and actively engaged in the whole learning process. This is reflected in the extensive and high quality learning programmes and opportunities that we provide at Sumner School, which not only meet our learners’ needs, but also harnesses their strengths, interests and future aspirations.

We are also passionate about the importance of wellbeing and Character Education within our school, believing that we are perfectly positioned to provide the positive reinforcement needed to educate our student’s minds, but also their hearts. At Sumner School we believe that by the end of their time with us, our students need to have a solid platform to continue to build upon their learning, but also be equipped with the necessary Positive Education tools in order to ‘choose to flourish’.
