Our students are highly successful across a broad range of activities – personal and social development, sporting, artistic, musical and cultural. We work in close partnership with schools within LIFE Mat to build expertise across our teaching community.

We enjoy learning together – not only in lessons but also through the wide range of extra-curricular activities we have on offer, and we encourage all students to get involved. We are committed to working closely with parents and a high value is placed on student voice in all aspects of school life.

Highly qualified teachers and support staff provide an excellent, caring environment in which students can learn and flourish safely. Our aspirations, expectations and commitment are relentlessly high for all members of the school community.
