We are committed to providing an environment which encourages all pupils, including more able pupils, to pursue a high level of performance in academic and non-academic areas.

We aim to encourage pupils to be independent learners, provide challenging work at an appropriate level and provide opportunities for pupils to work with like-minded peers both within school and the wider community.

Our definition of ability recognises academic and practical skills as well as those who show outstanding artistic, musical and creative talent, physical skills, leadership qualities and the ability to process ideas and information. 

Provision for pupils is through quality first teaching, and high levels of challenge in the classroom, teacher expectation of pupil performance and additional learning in interventions.
