We are a community with ambition, determination and a strong sense of collaboration. A core element of learning at our school is kindness. As a community we are supportive of each other, respecting the views, needs and beliefs of one another.
Our strong, broad and balanced curriculum ensures students can develop as rounded global citizens. We offer a rigorous academic curriculum that is strengthened with an innovative Creative Curriculum to ensure that each student develops the key skills they need to excel as learners. Our Key Stage 3 students will have the opportunity to work towards the Cumbrian Award, ‘developing their confidence, independence and a sense of adventure, increasing their exposure to and engagement with Cumbrian culture and developing and applying their enterprise skills’.
Our diverse enrichment programme enables students to discover their new passions, explore their talents and thrive, whether it is through music, sport, visits, outdoor pursuits, volunteering, charity work or residentials.
