We are ambitious for all our young people to be everything they can be, and everything they are meant to be and able to live life in all its fullness.

Excellence

We are committed to excellence. There is no compromise in any expectation for student or student group. Excellence means developing inspiring, skilled, and reflective teachers, committed to their craft at every career stage. All young people able to sit at any table and know they have something to offer and are proud to do it. We chase the best in teaching, learning, and leadership. Every step, every day.

Community

We are stronger together - inclusive and diverse. Building bonds that lift everyone up and crucially, we do this together as a community of pupils, parents, leaders and staff.

It’s a commitment to connection, learning from each other to lift everyone higher.
