Our inspirational staff are dedicated to delivering a rich curriculum and programme of co-curricular activities which challenge our pupils to explore ideas for themselves. Whether engaged in learning in the classroom, or through musical, artistic, sporting, enterprise or charitable activities, our pupils are constantly encouraged to connect with the wider world and embrace new experiences to build their confidence. All staff are expected and encouraged to play a full part in the academic, co-curricular and pastoral life of the School.
