As a fully comprehensive school, we are a diverse and vibrant establishment where each student is at the heart of all that we do. We are determined to deliver quality-first teaching, and we have the highest expectations of our students who learn within our safe, nurturing but challenging school environment. We have a strong reputation for academic excellence and pastoral support and, by engaging in our whole-school provision, our students have every opportunity to develop into happy, confident and well-rounded young adults.



Our school's foundations are built on strong relationships with students and their parents or carers. We recognise that pastoral partnerships that are both supportive and collaborative provide the best platform for our students to be aspirational and realise their potential.



We celebrate personal achievement and those who overcome personal hurdles. We encourage students to engage in opportunities for teamwork, leadership, adventurous, competitive and individual challenge and nurture them to be caring, thoughtful and respectful of others and their environment. We want our students to appreciate other cultures as well as their own community and to be reflective of their interactions with others.



We actively encourage our young people to embrace a whole school life. We provide a rich and broad curriculum, enhanced through a varied extracurricular programme where no young person is hindered from experiences that will enhance their cultural-capital due to personal social circumstance.



Our staff are our greatest asset. They have high levels of expertise and a tangible sense of vocation. We invest in our staff through our extensive continued professional development programme so that they can be the best practitioners possible for our students.
