Our School Aims
a_JPG.jpg)
We are proud of our school and its achievements across the entire curriculum.
We are optimistic about the future for our students and seek to develop their abilities in a happy, secure stimulating and purposeful environment. The courses and extra-curricular experiences we offer are selected to allow our students to develop as individuals, and to make the most their time with us.
The quality of our work depends upon the partnerships that we have between staff, parents, students and the wider community. We are fortunate to have good facilities, high standards of teaching and supportive, caring staff.
We hope that you will play an active part in your child's education and we look forward to working with you to ensure the best outcomes for your child.
As a Christian Community school (founded in 1685) we use our strong foundations to look towards the future and to build upon the good work of our primary partners.
