This holistic approach enables our pupils to thrive and succeed whilst at school and prepares them for life beyond, both in their careers and as positive contributors to society.<\/p>\n<p>The pioneering spirit which guided the School\u2019s foundation and early years is encapsulated by the tenacious curiosity and ambition of our pupils, the commitment of our innovative and talented staff and our determination to contribute positively to our local community.

We celebrate the diversity of our pupils, staff and parents, encouraging an understanding of the value this brings and promoting high levels of mutual respect. We seek to foster lifelong links with our former pupils, recognising the benefit of doing so to our current and future community.<\/p>\n<p>Our founding principles of developing the whole child as set out in our Mission &#8211; Educating for Life &#8211; remain as true today as they were at the School\u2019s inception.<\/p>\n<h3>Our Aims<\/h3>\n<p>We Aim To:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>encourage our pupils to strive for high personal, academic and social standards whilst taking full advantage of the opportunities on offer to them;<\/li>\n<li>enable pupils to enjoy their education, to see learning as a valuable and lifelong experience and to support them in making important career decisions;<\/li>\n<li>build and sustain a compassionate, generous and inclusive community in which all its members are valued equally and demonstrate a sense of pride in contributing to the local and wider community;<\/li>\n<li>develop in our pupils personal qualities such as curiosity, honesty, industry, resilience, empathy, self-awareness and respect.
