“The school seeks to equip young people with the character necessary to meet the challenges of an ever-changing world. It aims to encourage pupils to aspire to work hard and achieve, and to develop lively and enquiring minds. Pupils have extremely positive attitudes to learning and achieve highly in both academic and other areas … Pupils’ higher-order thinking skills are particularly well developed. They make an excellent contribution to the school community, through fulfilling roles of responsibility, and to the wider community through charitable volunteering and involvement.”
