Within the school, we are fortunate to have many talented and exceptional pupils. We have outstanding learners, gifted musicians, talented performers and those who excel at sport.
We each we try to ensure that we provide opportunities for them to shine, which is why we commit to such a broad programme of extracurricular events. However, more than wishing to see the individual succeed, we believe strongly in developing the concept of the TEAM and that we should focus more upon the success of the collective rather than the individual, whether this be on the field, on the stage or in the classroom.
Our TEAMWORK values therefore are a foundation of the curriculum as we look to provide planned opportunities to develop an understanding of each whilst working together.
