The school is enthusiastically embracing the journey to excellence. Since joining Sapientia Education Trust in September and being renamed, we focus on the young people we serve, their learning experience, and personal development. We are proud of the positive impact we are making on their futures.

Our school is friendly, supportive, and inclusive. As a small community, everyone knows and supports each other, working collectively towards shared goals for our students. Leadership maintains an open-door policy, and teachers have their own rooms with minimal marking requirements.

We offer a diverse range of opportunities, including 100 minutes per fortnight of enhancement activities such as sports, arts, community projects, and academic extensions. We also plan to introduce after-school academies in football, STEM, and performing arts delivered by external professionals.
