Succeed together

Excellent knowledge rich teaching drives a love of learning and high standards of achievement; through experiences students will be able to communicate in different ways, work in partnership, be self-reliant and work ready.

Be yourself, always

Our students will be happy, healthy, resilient and independent. They will have the confidence to be a force for good in society.

Do what matters most

Our students will be knowledgeable, competitive, entrepreneurial citizens with a commitment to participate responsibly and develop informed views of complex issues.

Show you care

Our students will be co-operative, safe, responsible young people who exceed their potential both academically and socially within an open, fair and diverse community.

We believe that this is the best way to equip our students for the next step in their educational journey and experience success in whatever career they eventually choose. We strive to ensure our students will compete on equal terms with others coming from the most privileged backgrounds, so we provide an academic, but rounded, education that gives them the best possible chance to succeed.
