We are passionate about our young people and the community that we serve. As a comprehensive school, we aim to meet the needs and aspirations of all children irrespective of background or circumstance. Our school is a safe, caring, inclusive and nurturing learning environment, with excellent care and support.

Students and staff are challenged and inspired by a strong developmental culture of learning and improvement, and excellent opportunities to gain experience and grow. We believe that as a genuine learning community, one where adults as well as young people fully engage in the learning process, we should all be open to learn from each other and from all experiences. Pupils first, always learning.
