Values
Excellence
- We believe that a happy and inspiring school community will lead to outstanding achievement in all areas of school life.
- Traditional values are important to us. We expect our students to be honest, respectful, considerate, caring, friendly and help others at all times.
- We believe in an inclusive community and focus on the needs of individuals. We expect students to respect the views and beliefs of others and demonstrate tolerance and understanding.
Aspiration
- Students should be excited, engaged and challenged in their learning. We recruit specialist teachers who are passionate, enthusiastic and have great imagination for communicating their subject.
- We believe taking responsibility is part of growing up. We expect students to have an outstanding attitude to learning and a desire to constantly improve.
- We believe students should question, think and take risks as part of the education process and work independently to prepare themselves fully for life after school.
Opportunity
- We expect exemplary behaviour both in and out of school. We recognise that our reputation helps open doors to opportunities for our students.
- We believe it is important to develop the whole person, building self-confidence and developing team working skills. One way we do this is through an outstanding programme of extra-curricular activities including sports, arts, clubs and societies.
- We are constantly looking to innovate. We expect students to be willing to get involved and try new things both within the school and the wider community.
