Ethos & Values
Our ethos and values have been developed by staff, students and governors. It underpins all our work and decision making.
COLLEGE VISION
Our vision is to develop an inclusive, dynamic, and high achieving learning community, where every member is ambitious to develop all aspects of their character. We aspire to be ambitious for all members of our community and support each other in achieving their very best. We support this process through the four pillars of our character programme and staff are asked to constantly refer to these in conversations and indeed when dealing with rewarding or sanctioning students. Students have clear expectations when they are in school based around these pillars.

Staff will reward all students for demonstrating these characters with character points that will build towards Character Awards and accomplishment of Character Challenges.
