Our Values and Ethos

Core Aims:

• Build resilience in all our pupils as citizens of the 21st Century

• A non judgemental forum where parents/carers can reflect on and develop their own parenting skills with quality guidance and support
• A school that inspires pupils to attend and re-engage in their learning with enthusiasm and drive
• A place of learning where pupils can belong and have a true sense of community
• A wide range of interventions that help support and guide pupils through their own journeys of personal development
• An understanding and recognition of local, national and international issues
• An holistic approach in understanding the lives of all our pupils
