Values and vision

It aims to develop the full potential and value the success of every individual child, helping them to develop the skills that will equip them for life-long learning in a changing society. Students are encouraged to remember that 'Everybody is Somebody', and think of themselves not only as individuals but to see themselves as part of a wider community, be it their class, school, local villages or the wider world.
Ofsted
“Students make good progress based on their average starting points. More-able students achieve particularly well across a range of subjects. Most of the teaching is good, and a small proportion is outstanding. Students behave well in lessons and around the college. The Principal, two Assistant Principals and the committed governing body have a good understanding of the college’s strengths and areas for development.”
