'The school will provide a secure, happy and caring environment in which our pupils achieve academic success, personal growth and responsibility in the community'

The City of Portsmouth Boys' School 

Promotes the ideals of a happy, secure, caring and supportive community in which pupils can achieve success and show improvement in personal, academic and social activities.
 Seeks to positively counteract stereotyping and prejudice with regard to race, religion, gender, age, class, disability, physique or intellect.
 Provides a curriculum which ensures enjoyable and successful contact with areas of knowledge and experience which will help pupils to learn more about themselves and the world around them, our European neighbours and further afield.
 Encourages enjoyment in learning and a mastery of basic skills of number and language to provide a firm foundation for educational opportunities in later life.
 Seeks to equip pupils for their adult roles in society, helping them to understand and respond to the demands of parenthood, citizenship and being a consumer in a rapidly changing world.
 Helps pupils to develop lively and enquiring minds, self-confidence, self-respect, mutual respect for others and an appreciation of human aspirations and achievements.
 Encourages an educational partnership between the school and the community it serves.
 Promotes involvement in, and enjoyment of, physical activities and leisure pursuits; provides a technologically advanced environment to stimulate and increase pupils' experiences with appropriate information systems.
