Our aim is to empower our students and enrich their lives to ensure they aspire to take their place in the world as useful citizens who will make a positive contribution. We want students to enjoy learning, to become independent and effective learners and to achieve academic success in an atmosphere that fosters positive relationships and mental health, promotes equality and celebrates diversity.
Our curriculum is broad and balanced; it provides intellectual challenge, develops creativity and curiosity and enables our students to articulate their thinking confidently. High-quality subject-specific teaching supports our curriculum and we encourage all staff to engage with local and national subject communities.
The curriculum and extra-curricular opportunities promote social and cultural enrichment and a strong sense of community. The advice and guidance we offer enables students to make wise, informed and ambitious choices. We promote the values of positivity, respect, integrity, compassion, courage and endeavour. We want our students to engage with the local and wider community in the belief that they can make a difference. We firmly believe that the curricular and extra-curricular programme we offer makes a major contribution to our Trust’s vision to ‘make remarkable things happen.’
