We pride ourselves on being a local school for local children, and since inception we have become the school of choice for families.
We exist to empower our pupils to find their purpose and thrive as citizens of the world. We provide a knowledge-rich curriculum which exposes pupils to powerful knowledge, places them on an ambitious pathway and develops the character traits needed to seize the opportunities that exist. Through finding their passions we enable pupils to make a positive difference to the world.
