Vision and Values
At South Chingford Foundation School (SCFS) our values are at the heart of our school culture. They underpin our mission to ‘foster ambition, build resilience and unite for excellence’.
This vision is used to cultivate a community where students are equipped with the skills and knowledge they need to excel in the next stage of their lives.

At South Chingford Foundation School, we provide our students with opportunities to:
- Thrive academically and personally, with a strong foundation in literacy and numeracy
- Experience diverse learning opportunities, including those which exist beyond the classroom
- Build resilience, and experience success
- Develop a passion for learning and learn the importance of treating other with kindness and respect
Our Core Values
Ambition
Ambition refers to a strong desire and determination to reach goals. It involves setting high aspirations and working to fulfil them. We encourage students to have big dreams and believe that through hard work and positivity they can achieve anything. It is important that they show the very best version of themselves.
Resilience
Life is not defined by how high you fly, but instead by how well you bounce back. We tackle challenges head on. In our ever-changing world, it is essential to have the courage and confidence to learn how to deal with situations and people, that may throw us off track. We learn from our setbacks and failures just as much as our successes.
Unity
SCFS is an inclusive school with a culture that supports and celebrates success and builds the highest expectations for all students, irrespective of their background. We believe every student matters and every lesson counts. When working together, anything is possible! We are proud of who we are, where we have come from and where we are going.
The Successful South Chingford student
We hope students will leave us as a well-rounded, skilled individual, ready to take on the world. They will be numerate, literate, and technologically capable, with a sense of responsibility toward themselves and others. Our students will be emotionally intelligent, able to work both independently and as part of a team. They will set their own goals, seek advice, and be kind to others. They will have the determination and drive to succeed in life, equipped with the flexibility to apply their skills in a variety of settings. As a school we are proud to foster this ambition ensuring they achieve the excellence they are capable of.
