Ethos & Values

"Flourishing Together"

Friendship Trust and Thankfulness Respect Perseverance Compassion Courage

Our Christian foundation originates from 1819 when Gorsley Baptist Church successfully applied to the Goff Trust for funding. The trust was established on the death of Edward Goff who was a successful businessman and devout Christian. In 1821 the school and church moved into permanent premises, what is currently Wye classroom.
