'Pride in ourselves and our school. Respect for others and the environment.'
We believe that success is best achieved when it is built upon an open and supportive partnership between our students, parents, staff and Board of Directors (governors).
We believe that every young person is special. We recognise each student has their own unique personality and special talents. We believe every student has something to offer.
We believe that all students have the right to feel secure and be able to work and develop their potential.
We believe every student deserves the opportunity to achieve. Our systems are designed to reflect and support these beliefs. The schools' codes of conduct provide a framework for this to occur.
