Teaching staff are highly skilled, dedicated to bringing out the best in each student - and each other. They instil a breadth of knowledge in their students and an understanding of how to think and question both inside the classroom and out, as they help prepare them for life in a rapidly changing world.

Our mission is to empower students to develop great hearts, inspired minds and strong wings, ready to make a positive contribution to society and the future.
