Discover our mission statement and core values.

Mission Statement:

To provide all students and staff with the opportunity to work hard to achieve their personal best.

To encourage personal, moral and spiritual development within a Christian framework.

Core Values

Every student and member of staff is encouraged to demonstrate, within and beyond their school, the principles behind our Core Values. Acting on the values contributes to our students’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development; they show high levels of respect towards peers, staff and the school environment.

Our Core Values are:

  • Honourable Purpose

    We aim to be positive in everything, doing what is good and aiming to benefit others as well as ourselves.

  • Humility

    We seek to do our personal best without bragging and to encourage others to achieve their best without being critical or jealous of their efforts.

  • Compassion

    We care for those who are in difficulty and who are hurting, recognising that the world does not exist for us alone.

  • Integrity

    We can be trusted to be honest and truthful, to say what we mean and to do what we say.

  • Accountability

    We recognise that having the freedom to express ourselves means that we must also accept responsibility for our words , thoughts and actions.

  • Courage

    We aim to do what is right, whatever the cost; we stand up for the weak, whatever the danger; we face our fears and find ways of defeating them.

  • Determination

    We know that hard work and the refusal to give up are essential if we are to achieve anything worthwhile.
