We are a community with an ambitious curriculum, focused and thoughtful classrooms and great learning. We empower our students to use their education to be kind and community minded and to thrive in happy and healthy lives.

We are an Ofsted 'Good' school with a thriving and diverse community and excellent educational outcomes. We perform well because from the moment they join us, we ask our students to work hard and be kind. These two behaviours epitomise what we think is important for both students and staff. 

We have four key values that underpin our decisions, actions and behaviours as a community

• Kindness
• Equity for all (through the highest of standards)
• Community at the heart
• Diversity and celebration

Kindness:

We want to help our students grow into kind teenagers and kind adults. We teach our community to do the right thing, because it is the right thing, because that benefits them and their community.

Equity for all:

We believe all students, no matter what their background should have access to an excellent education and a wide range of opportunities. To achieve this, we recognise that individuals have different circumstances and sometimes we need to provide different resources and opportunities to reach an equal outcome for all.

Community at the heart:

We recognise that as a school community we are part of something bigger. We want to work with our community to make our local area and city a great place to live and study. We actively engage with a wide variety of community groups and we understand that we can make great change collectively.

Diversity and celebration:

We are a diverse school and we celebrate this through our culture days, diversity groups and events such as whole-school assemblies. We actively celebrate difference and appreciate the benefits this has for our community. We are proud of our community and the fact that everyone is welcome.
