We actively promote our pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development and are committed to improving outcomes related to feeling safe, being healthy, enjoying learning and having good mental health and wellbeing. We also provide opportunities for our pupils to be actively involved in the life of the school, preparing them to be kind and compassionate model citizens. Well-being and a supportive ethos is embedded in all that we do, bringing out the very best in our staff and pupils
