We ensure that all of our students receive an education that is appropriate to their needs, promotes high standards, and the fulfilment of potential.

We welcome all students from the local community, and want to offer everyone the opportunity to receive an outstanding education.

We are committed to working collaboratively with our school community to ensure that all of our students receive an education that is appropriate to their needs, promotes high standards, and the fulfilment of potential.

In creating an inclusive learning environment, our aim is that every child will:

  • Achieve their best.
  • Become confident individuals living fulfilling lives.
  • Make a successful transition into adulthood, whether into employment, further or higher education or training.
