With our students at the heart of all that we do, we encourage each member of the community to uphold both our core values of Honesty, Excellence, Ambition, Respect and Teamwork and encourage the development of the core characteristics of Leadership, Organisation, Resilience, Initiative & Communication, ensuring students leave with the skills required for employment and future success. We also model the fundamental British values of democracy, rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance for those with different faiths and beliefs. We aim to make a positive contribution to both our local community and wider society.
We have a passionate belief in the value of a well-rounded education and it is our intention to unlock the true potential within each and every individual, whatever that may be.
