We are values-driven, and our vision is to provide excellent education so that all young people are able to make a success of their lives.

We are unapologetically ambitious for every child, no matter what their background, prior attainment or needs. We also believe in ‘Education with Character’ – we want young people to look back on a schooling that has inspired and challenged them, given them wide opportunity and prepared them for the ups and downs of life.
We value our staff highly and treat workload very seriously. Our systems are high leverage, ensuring you can really focus on your core purpose – teaching, in a sustainable way, unhindered by bureaucracy or poor behaviour.
We actively welcome visits and would be delighted to show you around our academy to fully appreciate our excellent learning environment.
