Home / About Us
Calibre is a vision made manifest and powered by LisaAnn Haynes, a committed and qualified teacher and a mother of two children, and Adam Dobson, a qualified and experienced educationalist. LisaAnn and Adam believe that ‘school’ can be done differently and young people do not have to be defined by the schooling system.
The values of Community, Growth, Learning, Compassion and Integrity form the bedrock of Calibre’s success and every decision made is exclusively concerned with what is in the best interests of each individual child. Calibre’s flexibility, experience and commitment ensure that each child receives the programme that is right for them. Calibre strives to provide a learning environment in which young people want to flourish and offer the best they can, whatever that may be.
To create a place where every student is truly seen, where learning is personal, calm, and purposeful, and where young people rediscover confidence through encouragement, structure, and genuine human connection. Our mission is to guide each learner with patience and dignity, helping them grow academically and emotionally, one meaningful interaction at a time.
To build an educational home that changes how children experience school — a place where small classes, caring relationships, and consistent support allow every learner to flourish. We envision graduates who carry resilience, self-belief, shaped by the steady guidance and compassion they received at Calibre.
