As a Gold UNICEF Rights Respecting school our ethos at CHJS is very much focused on valuing individuals in their own right as we believe our children have the right to be heard and develop their full potential. We aim to develop learners who are passionate, are proud of all achievements and take ownership of their learning by making independent choices built on resilience. We strive to offer a happy, secure and stimulating learning environment which embraces honesty and respect.
