The ethos of the school is evident in our vision, our mission statement and our values.

It is summed up in our motto –ÌýAspire, Challenge, AchieveÌý– which holds that not only do we aspire to be exceptional in all that we do, but that we will offer the opportunities for our students to challenge themselves and be challenged in order to achieve and to find the things that make each member of our community exceptional and celebrate them.Ìý
