We celebrate our differences, enjoying the benefits of having a truly diverse cohort. We support the wellbeing of our students by developing their empathy, generosity and respect for others in the community. We take pride in our principles of equality, and respect for alternative views, cultures, and religions, and all people regardless of their gender, disability, race, or sexual orientation.

Our students enjoy being at the Academy and choose to stay with us for their sixth form education.
