This is the place where you can pinpoint the abiding Values of our school.
Running like a bright ribbon through every aspect of daily life here, they bring together our whole approach to the education, personal development and well-being of each child.
They are also the mechanism by which we deliver our Mission: ‘To develop the whole child, preparing them to make a positive influence in the world .’
We are passionate about the application and working practice of these Values, and so it is important to us that, as you wander through this website, you can actively trace their influence and capacity to lift everybody up, to be the best they can be. It is what makes all the difference.
