Heads welcome:

This is a school with exceptional character and warmth, that you can sense even as you walk down our drive. A school that sits at the heart of the community because community matters to us here. It is my vision that during the time of my Headship this school will continue to grow to be a truly inclusive and restorative organisation that strives to meet the needs of every individual. We are a diverse community of over 1500 students and staff who have built a school centered around excellent relationships and the desire to bring our very best each day. The LEARN values that fly on the flags at the front of our school really mean something here. We genuinely do follow these five core values to ensure that students and staff have the chance to thrive in our school.

Look after each other

Enjoy school
