To help keep all pupils safe, please ensure the school has up-to-date information about any allergies your child may have. Accurate allergy information enables us to put appropriate support plans in place, train staff effectively, and respond quickly in an emergency. We all have a part to play in creating a safe environment, including following our nut-aware policy and being mindful of the food brought into school. If your child has an allergy, please contact the school or update their details via Arbor. Be Allergy Aware Posters for AAW25

Ethos and Values

Aspire

We work with students so that they are aspirational and ready for their next steps and, most importantly, understand their role and place both within their local community and beyond.

Achieve 

The personal development of our students is vital for them to be able to reach their full potential. We know that successful people are able to both reflect on their strengths, and know the areas which they wish to develop in order to be successful in the next stage of their journey.

Respect

Respect for others, and respect for ourselves. This encompasses the school culture we seek to instill in our corridors and classrooms so that our young people are able to develop, personally and academically, in a considerate environment.
