Our Values

Our values reflect what we believe is most important in our schools – and what we want our pupils and team members to achieve.

Respect

We choose to treat each other with kindness, warmth and care, believing that everybody matters and believing in one another.

Responsibility

It’s fundamental to take responsibility for our actions, acknowledging mistakes and building strong relationships through mutual respect.

Aim High

We don’t settle for anything less than excellent – and we won’t allow our pupils to, either.

Compassion

We choose to treat each other with kindness, warmth and care. We believe that everybody matters equally.

Courage

We're not afraid to make the right call – and we challenge wrongs, even when it's difficult to do so.
