Ethos Statement of Community National Schools
Core values of CNS
The Community National Schools seek to provide a high standard of education where each child is encouraged to reach his/her personal potential.
The schools are committed to a spirit of inclusion, equality and harmony where each child and member of the school community is valued equally and treated with respect and dignity.
The school will serve the local community in its totality. It will welcome children without prejudice to class, creed or nationality. Realising the central role of parents in the education of their children the school will reach out to serve the educational needs of parents.
The education of children is a two-way partnership between parents and school. In playing out this role shared by school and parents, the school will keep parents fully briefed on their child’s educational development and guide parents in the most effective way of collaborating with the school.
