About

We are an ambitious, caring and supportive school that has a clear vision that learning is for life rather than simply something that stops at the final exam. Our aim is: To prepare and enable young people to lead fulfilled lives in the 21st century. We do this through a commitment to learning in all its forms.

Learning in the classroom - Curriculum and its delivery We will provide all students with an inspiring and ambitious curriculum that equips them with the knowledge and skills to flourish. Through our broad and balanced curriculum, our students will become resilient, well-qualified, life-ready citizens with a strong sense of social responsibility and a global perspective.

Learning to live - Strong relationships and C ommunity We will provide an inclusive community which allows all members to feel safe and supported.This is underpinned by decency, compassion, and humility. Every child matters to us, and everyone is noticed.

Learning beyond the classroom - School is more than simply what happens in the class Beyond the formal curriculum, we will seek opportunities to nurture the interests and talents of our students. We will educate beyond the classroom, to develop creativity, leadership, a sense of curiosity and adventure.

Governing body (15 current, 4 former)

iAcademy trust: local governing body and trust board.

1 governor is linked to a profile (all confirmed).

Governors marked “Confirmed same person” have exactly the same forename and surname as the only officer of that name at the school’s own academy trust company on the Companies House register, so we treat them as the same person. The governance record itself comes from DfE.
