Our belief in ‘Aspiration for all’ means that our students are at the heart of our decision making. We understand that safe and happy students are successful. Our commitment is to ensure that all students leave our school, not only with the qualifications they need to access the next stage of their education or career of choice, but with the skills and confidence to make an active contribution to the communities to which they belong.
