We are an Academy that cares deeply about our students and our community. We want all our students to be accepted for who they are and to feel they truly belong. We do this through a strong pastoral system, our wider curriculum and through our dedicated team of experts including our SEN and pastoral teams. Our values come alive in our day-to-day life. They are lived through our curriculum with its wide range of subjects that go beyond the National Curriculum and include subjects such as Latin and Ancient History; through our approach to personal development which helps our students become kind, informed, confident, resilient, curious and ambitious; through our emphasis on traditional ideas of hard work, respect for authority, high standards of uniform and behaviour; and through our highly qualified staff.
