The education we provide will be:

  • Ambitious –  for our young people, encouraging and supporting them to excel
  • Caring –  where all members of the community treat each other with kindness and respect
  • Inclusive –  meeting the needs and aspirations of all young people
  • Broad-ranging – giving access to a broad and rich range of experiences to prepare them for an active role in the next stage of their education or life after school
