I believe wholeheartedly in creating a school that enables all students to achieve, develop and thrive so that everyone is best placed to be happy and successful in the future. Our vision and values are lived through our ethos of 'Together, we are proud to be our best', that focusses upon supporting all our students to feel a strong sense of belonging, personal achievement and high aspiration.

We aim to inspire and empower our students and staff through a broad, balanced and ambitious curriculum by respecting and supporting each other in all aspects of school and community life. We will focus on good behaviour, good teaching and high expectations of all, so that everyone can access a good education and build positive characteristics that help them in their future lives.
