Creating an environment for pupils to thrive
We are proudly a non-selective school with high expectations of all pupils and staff who are the school’s greatest asset. Our staff are highly professional, caring and committed to providing the best possible education for the children in our care. Together, we aim to provide young people with the skills they will need to make informed choices in a moral context throughout the rest of their lives.

Our school offers an environment that enables all children to realise their full potential academically and to develop the skills and confidence for a fulfilling and responsible life in a changing society. Education should nurture a love of learning, a sense of curiosity, a sense of self-worth and the worth of others. As a school, we seek to develop inquiring, imaginative, fascinated, knowledgeable and caring young people with an eagerness for knowledge and a sense of value.
