Our community recognises the significant improvements that have been made, and has supported the school in this period. The next phase of growth for the school will build on all the changes that have been embedded in this time; every aspect of school life has improved and we are determined that pathway will continue to strengthen.

2025-26 will see the school continue to be unwavering in our pursuit of excellence for the young people in our community. We continue to focus on the three pillars of our school development plan of Quality of Education, Equity for All, and Well School. Having a healthy safeguarding culture permeating throughout our community is the most important component that supports all other aspects of school life.
