“The promotion of students’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is also a strength of the school. A varied and rich programme of extra-curricular activities, including opportunities to join classes in Latin, an ‘eco-club’, the orchestra or the coding club, as well as cultural visits both in the UK and abroad supplements the taught curriculum. Teachers help students to understand different cultures in a number of ways including an annual multi-cultural week. Vibrant art work, completed by students, is displayed all around the school. The school works to promote equality of opportunity well and tackles any form of discrimination rigorously”.
