We are dedicated to providing positive outcomes throughout every student’s academic career and we encourage families to actively support us in this.  We believe that every learner is entitled to a broad, balanced and relevant curriculum.

The school’s success is built on our belief in values of respect for self and others, coupled with a positive attitude, which means that each student wants to make a positive contribution to their school community.

Our student support system is based on the role of the form tutor, who has immediate responsibility for the progress, behaviour, development and academic success of each student  in their care. The form tutor is the first contact should there be any concerns about a student’s welfare.

The Student Support team have responsibility for the pastoral care of students and the Student Support Officers should be the next point of contact after the form tutor.

The school expects and maintains high standards of behaviour. This creates a safe and secure learning environment where all students can thrive.  We operate a zero tolerance approach to  bullying  and in the rare cases where this happens, staff deal quickly and effectively with all parties. If reported, all disagreements are  dealt with and  followed up with home.

We support our students in having their voices heard and include the views of the students in their own teaching and learning.

We promote our students in taking  on leadership roles and our School Leadership team is testament to this.  Students throughout the school are encouraged to represent their form group and be involved in school decision-making.
