Our high standards are achieved through effective leadership, outstanding teaching and committed stakeholder engagement from the Trust, Governance and community.

We know that personal well-being goes hand-in-hand with confidence, self-esteem and academic development.

character

and Co-operative qualities of responsibility, self-help, solidarity, resilience and compassion. They learn the importance of equality, equity and democracy as

core values
