Values and Vision

The school’s motto is ‘Believe – Exceed’ and adhering to this core belief, we aim to provide a first class education for our children in a secure, calm, enjoyable and stimulating atmosphere, where all are challenged to respond positively, to go the extra mile and to achieve their true potential. We work in partnership with parents to help pupils become self motivated, confident, independent learners who are prepared for all aspects of life. We have a positive learning atmosphere created by our code of conduct, the commitment to it from staff and pupils and the close collaboration with parents.

Teaching and learning are rightly at the heart of our activities. There is a focus not simply on what to learn but how to learn. Learners evaluate their own progress and enjoyment of learning. They also learn how to improve and to move onwards and upwards. In the Sixth form we combine with two other institutions in the Dyffryn Clwyd Dinbych Partnership. This enables us to offer post 16 pupils an extensive range of courses and opportunities.
