Our aims are simple: to develop the sharpest minds and the biggest hearts in our children through a traditional academic approach to education. 

The pursuit of academic excellence is crucially important, but the learning experience for our children is not confined to the classroom. 

We are fully committed to the idea of an all-round education where personal development is valued as well as examination success. 

We continue to review our curriculum to ensure it reflects our diversity; is broad, balanced and effective, incorporating further bespoke pathways to appropriately challenge all students; providing experiences that will nurture the development of the whole person, their spiritual, emotional and moral health and well-being, as well as academic or vocational ability.

Our curriculum consistently matches and exceeds the ambition found in the National Curriculum.
