- All decisions are made in the best interests of staff, students and families.
- High support, high challenge and evidence informed in everything we do.
- We work collaboratively and make team, not individual, decisions.

- We are always open to learning and seeking new ideas.
What the school offers its staff
We know working in schools can be stressful and it is easy to give over a lot of your personal time to work. We strongly believe that work should not take over every aspect of your life in order to support both your physical and mental health. And so;
- We limit paperwork and meetings to the necessary,
- Finish at 1pm on a Friday,
- Have a robust staff wellbeing programme in place that is constantly evolving,
- We ensure training is meaningful and given time to embed.
