"Learning, Caring, Growing Together"
Our vision is shaped by our distinctively Christian ethos and the teachings of Jesus. Our school Ethos Group chose the Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10 v 25-37) to explain why, as a Christian School, our vision to learn, care and grow together is important.
Welcome message from Headteacher Anna Black emphasising a safe, caring and engaging learning environment with high standards and expectations, a distinctively Christian ethos, and a focus on progress and lifelong skills.
