Our Code of Conduct is based on respect, courtesy and consideration. We make sure that students who work hard, help others and show responsibility in their behaviour are properly recognised through our awards system.

Our Students

Each year group is guided by a team of form tutors led by an Achievement Coordinator. Their aim is to ensure that every individual makes progress in their achievement and personal development.
We listen to the views of our students . An extensive student questionnaire is used to inform school improvement planning and members of the school council play an important role in representing the pupil voice and contribute to the decision-making process.
Students were consulted about changes to the school uniform and the findings of student voice projects about learning and teaching are influential.
Our extensive programme of enrichment activities provides further opportunities for students personal development.
Outside the classroom.
We believe that a full involvement in school life fosters confidence, self-esteem and positive attitudes so we offer a very varied programme of extra-curricular activities.
