  We aspire to be a wholly inclusive, dynamic place of learning with happy, confident, ambitious and caring pupils and staff who are proud about what they achieve in all aspects of their life.
• Individuality
  We aspire to know every pupil personally, offering high quality specialist teaching that maintains and ignites pupils’ enthusiasm, widens their interests and allows them to develop their full potential.

  We aspire to teach a relevant and inspiring curriculum that is clear about it’s intent, implementation and impact. We provide a wide range of extra-curricular opportunities both in and after school that all pupils can partake and benefit from.

• Sustainability
  We aspire to be financially sustainable by making our support systems effective and directly related to meeting the needs of our pupils and stakeholders. Our curriculum is linked to the United Nations sustainability Goals and teaches pupils about sustainability on our rapidly changing planet.
