ensuring that students have the very best experience and opportunities to prepare them not only for important qualifications, but also to be well-rounded, responsible citizens - demonstrating compassion, enthusiasm and confidence.

There will be many challenges ahead, not least as the Government makes changes to what is expected of schools. It is important that we work together to make sure OUR school serves the needs of OUR community and OUR young people and I hope that as many of you will get involved in the life of the school as possible. Only by working together can we make sure our children enjoy school and develop the skills and knowledge they need to build successful, happy lives.
