The school follows six core values under the acronym ASPIRE: achievement and attainment, success, progress, inspiration, resilience and enriched opportunities. Being a kind and considerate member of the school’s community is vital and pupils are taught to be sensitive to other people’s feelings.

Ofsted
“Pupils are prepared to progress to the next stage of education, training or employment. There is a comprehensive careers strategy in place that focuses on raising pupils’ future aspirations when they leave school. There are many opportunities for pupils to develop leadership skills, including pupil parliament representatives in each year group, and these help prepare them well for the future. Since the school opened, the number of pupils who have not moved on to education, employment and training has significantly reduced”.
