Sense of Belonging
Visitors comment on the Danebank atmosphere. They remark that our girls are happy and friendly, that they are confident and comfortable in their school. We believe that this comes from the positive, nurturing approach we have to our students. Danebank girls make their mistakes in a forgiving environment. They are encouraged to persevere, to be resilient and to know their strengths. They develop self-confidence and positive personal standards that equip them for meaningful adult lives.
Core Values
The school’s core values encourage students to uphold high personal standards that reflect the strong Christian ethos of the school. They are:
- Care and compassion for ourselves and others
- Seeking the truth in all situations
- Integrity measured against the word of God
- Respect for persons and property at all times
- Responsibility for our own behaviour and actions
- Understanding and tolerance
- Striving to do one’s personal best.
Danebank’s size makes the school big enough to offer many opportunities but small enough to ensure that all girls are known. It is an all-girls environment where our girls mix enthusiastically with one another unencumbered by gender pressures. They interact positively with friends from many year groups and they develop life-long friendships while at school.
