You will support vulnerable learners, each with individual needs, to learn, achieve and shine during their middle school years.

Our activity programme beyond the classroom is broad and enriching, and we are proud of the many and varied extra-curricular activities that form part of our educational offer. We have high expectations of behaviour and attitudes and strive to enhance the personal development of our pupils through a well-sequenced curriculum experience.
