We nurture extraordinary young people.
Our focus is on leading through values, as in a culture of strong values great outcomes can be achieved. Whatever success, talent, or opportunities our students enjoy, we want them to be excellent but not arrogant, consciously inclusive rather than exclusive, and not to think anything is beneath them.
We are committed to creating a diverse environment in which every individual experiences great rapport with their teachers and peers, and feels that they are known and cared for. We encourage every student to develop and satisfy their curiosity for all kinds of learning, as well as to enjoy playing a part in our community.
We want our students to develop the confidence and creativity to be ambitious and forward thinking, and recognise that they will require character and resilience to be prepared for their future.
We aim to:
- Encourage the growth of intellectual curiosity, creativity and independent learning whilst also preparing each student for the best possible examination results, through a broad, coherent and balanced curriculum.
- Provide well-qualified, inspirational and dedicated staff, committed to their own continual professional development, who have high expectations of all students, enjoy teaching and learning, and enable students to fulfil their academic potential within an intellectually vibrant community.
- Provide outstanding pastoral care; ensuring that relationships within the school are always based on mutual respect within a highly supportive environment.
- Encourage the development of self-discipline, responsibility, physical and emotional wellbeing, moral and spiritual values, and consequently the highest possible standards of behaviour, confidence and consideration for others.
- Offer excellent facilities and a wide range of high quality co-curricular activities through which students develop a healthy sense of cooperation and competition as well as enjoying social, sporting and cultural interests for their own sakes.
- Prepare students for life beyond school through an understanding of higher education and career possibilities, a development of entrepreneurial and leadership skills, an informed appreciation of the diversity of the world and a sense of service to the wider community.
