We very much value the commitment and determination of all our staff in ensuring that the students access a high quality education.

We are a happy school and have a relatively low staff turnover because staff in general feel well supported both personally and professionally. As a school, we take a considered approach to school improvement and performance management. We believe in building on our strengths and developing a few key aspects of our provision in depth and over time in order to have a sustained positive impact on students and to enable staff to experience professional satisfaction.
