Our School Improvement Focus for 2022/2023 is available here in draft format and is work in progress which we will be working on during September and will be fully published after our 1st BOM meeting at the end of September.
The school’s Vision statement “Together We Will Achieve” reflects the hopes for our school and students where each of us wishes to achieve to the best of our ability, while acknowledging that this can ultimately be better achieved through partnership.
The schools Mission statement reflects how we will achieve this vision by Caring, Developing, Praising and Believing in our students and by empowering them to also take personal responsibility for their growth and development.
This is all mediated through a shared set of core Values which underpin everything we do.
