We want our pupils to work hard but also enjoy life in school. We provide many enrichment activities; sporting, work experience, cultural and charitable; for our pupils to learn and grow beyond the confines of the classroom. We believe that these opportunities enable our pupils to grow and develop into well-rounded young men and women who will leave here fully equipped for life beyond school.
“Staff know each and every pupil and relationships are consequently highly positive.” Ofsted
Our identity as a Roman Catholic school and our school’s distinctive Salesian ethos is based on St John Bosco’s vision that ‘it is not enough for every child to be loved… they must know that they are loved’. We provide strong pastoral support and a high level of care for every student, regardless of their background. We are a community where everyone is highly valued as an individual.
“Pupils mix well in this harmonious environment and benefit from personalised support and guidance” Ofsted
Whilst we are justifiably proud of our school and of the achievements of the young people who have already studied here we are equally excited about the future and the potential of the young people joining our school to achieve great things in the years ahead.
