Education is about preparing pupils for life in the fullest sense.

We want our pupils at Campbell to live happy and fulfilled lives. We would like our pupils to find a passion for things in life, an interest in and respect for others and their worlds, the chance of challenge and achievement, an attachment to the life of the mind.

If that is what we want for our pupils, I assume that a school’s education should contribute to that end. It shouldn’t be about, or only about, success and results and skills and creating units that will contribute to the economic benefit of the community. Campbell College can and does do results and success. However, we don’t think that is enough; our aim is to provide an educational experience that is rich, diverse and exciting in an atmosphere that provides support, encouragement and care for everyone, pupils and staff, here. We want our pupils to love coming here and to go from here prepared for all that human life has to offer.

It’s easy to write these fine superlatives and comfortable words, but it is something that we are honestly trying to do. We are fortunate with a beautiful site, a pupil population as diverse in background as the city itself, governors and staff of real commitment and relationships of trust and understanding between pupils and staff. And, beyond all that, there is a life of sport and music and drama and societies and expeditions and camps and trips and laughter.

Our total curriculum at Campbell acknowledges that activity beyond the classroom enhances the pupils and their relations with staff, that passion and commitment can transform the pupils and prepare them for the richest possible lives as adults.

May I extend the warmest possible invitation to you to come and visit us and meet the people who make this place what it is.
