Our overriding aim is to foster academic and personal development in a caring and challenging environment so that each individual can achieve their potential and become an accomplished student. The underlying principle for all of us in this school is that;

Our purpose is to show each individual that they matter and will be valued for their contribution to the world in which they live. We provide learning and enriching experiences to inspire, motivate, stretch and meet the needs of all learners. We encourage a lifelong love of learning to enable all to develop the attitudes, skills and knowledge to become confident communicators, resilient and responsible citizens, willing to accept responsibility and demonstrate qualities of leadership.
We want our young people to:
- contribute positively and creatively now and in the future

- develop the skills, including team-work, enterprise and handling risk, to be successful for life beyond school
- make informed decisions about their future, for a healthy and safe lifestyle
