The school also admits a number of children of other faiths and of no faith each year according to criteria established by the Diocese and Trust.
Relationships between home and school are very positive. Governors and parents are very supportive, and have very high expectations of the school. We trust our students to behave well and the atmosphere in the school reflects our high expectations of them in this respect. The parent satisfaction surveys over the years indicate 100% would recommend our school.
Our faith underpins the ethos of the school and visitors often comment on the warm calm Christian atmosphere apparent in the school. We work constantly to maintain this ethos by supporting our pupils and our staff in ways that allow them to develop positive relationships. Discipline in the school is based on gospel values that recognise each person’s individuality.
The Leadership team comprises of the Headteacher, Deputy Headteacher, Assistant Headteacher, SENDCo and the Business Manager. The Deputy Headteacher is responsible for the pastoral care of the students as well as being the safeguarding lead. The pastoral team comprises of the Deputy Headteacher, SENDCo, 2 Pastoral Managers and the Form Tutors. (The Head and SENDCo are also safeguarding leads within the school.)
