OUR VISION AND VALUES
Our Vision
Our students will be happy, safe and successful; each having a love of learning and entrepreneurial spirit. They will be self-aware, know where they are going and what needs to be done to get there. They will try a broad range of things, hold positions of responsibility, serve the community and be proud of their achievements and of the School.
Our inclusive and forward looking curriculum will meet the needs of current and future students. It will sell the School, educate the whole person, be broad and balanced and cater for both the specialist and generalist.
Teaching is exciting, relevant and interesting underpinned by high expectations and consistent practice. Learning is individual, co-operative and characterised by excellent relationships between students and with staff. A strong focus on literacy provides equality of access and opportunity.
Our teaching, learning support and associate staff are enthusiastic, committed, supportive and capable. They all work together and value each other and lifelong learning, share expertise, implement policies and lead learning so all practice is the standard of the best.
With investment via the Priority schools building programme our state-of-the-art building and cutting edge resources will provide a 21st Century learning environment for the whole community allowing our learners to try things they may never have thought possible.
We will be at the heart of the local community. Relationships with parents and partnerships with the wider community will be built on shared values of trust, confidence and mutual understanding, with all stakeholders contributing to the learning experience.
