Headteacher's message
'We are helping students achieve qualifications that will open doors to university, training and employment and gain wider skills that will set them apart from others. We nurture resilience, creativity and enterprise, and provide regular opportunities to demonstrate leadership. For example, through our work with Music in Secondary Schools Trust (MiSST), every child is given a violin and taught to play for their first three years.'
