Exemplary student behaviour. A well-taught, unapologetically academic education for all children. Regular opportunities for character development. Every member of our school community is a leader. We believe that leadership does not have to be macho or at the expense of others. Our values of GRACE help us to achieve success in a collegiate and sustainable way: Growth - the belief that we can always improve and that feedback from others is essential for our development. Responsibility - we own our decisions and recognise when we need to put things right or make a change. Ambition - the belief that access to the top grades, the best universities and elite careers are available for our children. Compassion - we are kind to others and grateful for what we have. Excellence - we prioritise doing the basics well day after day, so we build habits that lead to success. The school joined the Harris Federation in September 2022.
