Vision ‘Do everything in love.’ (1 Corinthians 16:14) as the foundation for achieving excellence through faith, friendship, courage and respect by providing all children with the highest level of academic curriculum and pastoral care, with opportunities for spiritual growth and intellectual enquiry.

• 'The vision to do everything in love inspires a culture of caring for each other that nourishes a sense of belonging. Pupils and adults thrive in their relationships and personal development.' 
• 'Collective worship is part of a golden thread that weaves through daily life. Values are carefully chosen to support the vision and foster spiritual growth in pupils and adults.'
• 'The vision prioritises the achievement of excellence for all and this shapes an inclusive curriculum tailored to the needs of pupils. This engages them, broadens their horizons and gives them confidence within and beyond their learning.'
