We are passionate about using evidence-informed practices in teaching and learning, curriculum, behaviour management and CPD. We value teachers as experts in their subject and provide them with high levels of trust and autonomy. We are committed to staff well-being and have taken steps to reduce teachers’ workload. The impending new build brings further exciting possibilities.
