Head of School’s Welcome

Welcome to our school. Our mission is to enable young people to be successful, creative, lifelong learners participating in a journey of self-discovery through the Trust vision of ‘Achievement through caring’.

The school has been through a period of transition and change setting us up to now move the school forward ensuring our students have access to a first class education. We are working with our community and look to strengthen these relationships over the coming months and years.

It is our belief that all children have the right to a great education, full of opportunities and new experiences that fit hand in hand with traditional values around behaviour, manners and respect.

We are committed to providing a rich and varied curriculum that finds the talent in everyone. It is our aim to develop a love for learning so that our young people are driven to seek educational experiences that both inspire and challenge them as they progress throughout the school, and beyond.
