At Chislet we believe that our children will be the leaders of the future. Our children are encouraged to speak their mind, discuss with all and develop empathy and sympathy in their reactions to others. They will be the politicians, actors, business managers and parents of the future able to share, organise, improvise and provoke thoughts and actions. In our school, speaking and listening are seen as crucial skills which must be nurtured, developed and encouraged in order to confidence.
