We know what works best for young people and how to ensure they are successful. This starts with excellent attendance, over 95%, with excellent behaviour, striving to be at their best every day and through an excellent attitude to their work. An attitude that thrives on challenge and a willingness to collaborate with their peers and our staff at all times. We believe in a maintaining a culture of respect and tolerance of others. We work with young people to resolve any conflict and to be understanding of diversity and difference and to learn to celebrate our differences. We know such an approach builds a calm, purposeful and harmonious school, where every child can be safe, respected and able to learn without distraction.We are an ambitious school, hungry for more success for everyone who attends the school.
