Our Aims
We pursue our whole College mission, guided by three defining and aspirational aims:
1) Self: each pupil cares for their mental and physical wellbeing; learns and achieves to their individual potential; and is content, comfortable and confident to be who they are in our diverse and inclusive College.
2) Service: each pupil makes a positive difference to the lives of others in our College, as well as in our local and in wider, global communities.
3) Sustainability: each pupil contributes towards preserving and protecting the planet we all inherit and share, and has the opportunity to be creative and innovative; to help further humanity’s progress in the future.
