We are motivated by a mission of social change and reducing educational inequality. We are unique in our approach to a knowledge-rich curriculum – our school motto is Libertas per cultum (Freedom through education) – and in our strong emphasis on raising young people’s aspirations and outcomes through the teaching of classical and traditional subjects. Our children and young people study a bespoke curriculum developed by researchers at our Curriculum Centre, which places a focus on developing their cultural literacy and their awareness of the forces, words and events that have shaped our society.
