We aim to provide a caring environment in which each pupil is able to realise his or her full academic, social, cultural and sporting potential. Our values are based on respect for every member of the community, on thoughtfulness and on courtesy.
Every pupil has the right to look for happiness and security at school and we believe that it should combine high personal and social standards with a friendly atmosphere and mutual tolerance in which pupils of all ethnic and cultural backgrounds, of all religious persuasions and of various levels of ability are welcome and supported.
We recognise that our pupils have various talents and differing rates of development and therefore attach great value to every achievement, however modest, which stems from their efforts. Therefore, we positively encourage an appreciation of, and respect for, the work of every member of our community.
We expect our pupils to do their best to aspire to excellence, to be diligent, honest, reliable, punctual, tidy in their appearance and to practise good manners in their relationships with one another and with staff.
Through our pastoral structure, coupled with our programme of Personal, Social and Health Education, we aim to help each pupil to become a valuable member of society, to understand themselves and others and to develop a personal code of morals and values.
The pastoral welfare of each pupil is nurtured within the school to reflect these aims and we set great store by the way we care for every individual. The pages in this section provide more detailed information of our pastoral systems and also point you towards other supporting documentation.
