We feel passionately about supporting students to overcome any barriers to learning and promoting diversity and tolerance across the academy. We have an extensive personal development programme ‘Aspire’ which incorporates all aspects of student’s wider development. ‘Pupils make a valuable contribution to the life of the school. This is particularly evident in the work of the prefects. Pupils spoke highly of the rewards programme.

Disruption free learning
We believe passionately that students should learn in a disruption free environment. Our expectations of behaviour are very high, and we believe that all of our students are capable of meeting them.
