Ethos and Values

Believe, Aspire, Achieve

Working together as a school in partnership with our students and parents, we aim to equip all students with the knowledge, skills and personal characteristics to succeed, and by ensuring all students leave school equipped with qualifications enabling progression to the next stage of education, training or employment.

As a school, we share a clear mission to bring about improvements in the life chances of our students through:

• Putting our students at the heart of every decision we make
• Offering our students great care and support
• Delivering the highest quality teaching and learning to inspire and challenge our students, and to develop in them a lifelong love of learning
• Delivering a whole-school focus on excellence at every level
• Maximising students’ educational outcomes to ensure they can progress successfully
• Bringing equality of educational experience to every student.

We are proud to be a part of the Acorn Education Trust. As a Trust, we believe passionately that every student:

• Feels they belong
• Is challenged
• Develops a love of learning
• Has aspiration
• Makes a unique contribution to their school, and
• Is ready for their world in their time.
