We have high expectations, ensuring that every student, regardless of their starting point can be ‘Happy, Valued, and Successful’.
We live out our Ethos of ‘Your Child is our Child’ and greatly value the strong relationships between staff and students but equally we work closely with parents, carers, governors and the wider community to ensure the success of our students. We are incredibly proud of our caring school, the kindness of our students and the positive relationships which are at the core of our community.
Our students are encouraged to develop a thirst for learning through a range of exciting and challenging opportunities both within and outside the classroom. We provide a purposeful and stimulating learning environment where excellent behaviour, hard work, independence, personal responsibility and student participation are central to everything we do.
We aim to inspire confident learners who will thrive in an ever-changing world, equipping every student with the personal skills and aptitudes to flourish and academic results of which they can be proud.
We are determined to provide an outstanding education for all, to care and support individuals and stretch and challenge every student so that they achieve their very best and fulfil their aspirations.
