St Laurence School

It is a great privilege to be the Headteacher of St Laurence . We are a thriving and successful comprehensive academy where great and equal value is placed on both academic excellence and developing the whole person. We work hard to create opportunities for every student to achieve to their full potential and have the best possible preparation for adult life.

In the words of our mission statement: we care, we inspire, we succeed . As one visitor commented, a school with head and heart working together . We benefit from a dual foundation status. One of these is the Diocese of Salisbury, meaning that we are a Church of England school.

We are fully inclusive, welcoming students of all faiths and none, and we believe that our Christian foundation provides a context within which to foster a sense of understanding and compassion for others. We are proud to have the Lord Fitzmaurice Educational Trust as the other part of our foundation.

The Trust links us firmly to our community and Lord Fitzmaurice's vision of creating opportunities for all local young people through education is very much alive today at St Laurence.
