We have high expectations of all of our students and this is reflected in our school motto of “Taking Pride”. Students are encouraged to participate in and give of their best in all aspects of school life. We encourage our students to take advantage of all opportunities and to be bold in taking risks in their learning to become resilient, happy and confident individuals. This is why we adopt the growth mindset philosophy of ‘I Can’t Do It Yet!’

One of the strengths of our school is the staff. They are a dedicated team who are supportive, caring and innovative. They work tirelessly to provide excellent learning opportunities for all students.

School Ethos

The ethos of the school is encapsulated in its motto, ‘Taking Pride’. This is not an instruction, this is a description. This is what we do and what we encourage our learners, staff, parents, governors and community to do.

We are ‘Taking Pride’ every day in our standard of work, our appearance, our behaviour, our friends, our learners, our teachers, our school and our family. We do all this by Taking Pride in ourselves – believing that if we do that, then pride in all the other things will follow. We don’t mean that we show off: we don’t mean that we are arrogant: we mean that we take care with and take care of ourselves, others and all we do and are, and that, quietly, inside ourselves, we tell ourselves that we are proud.
