All pupils are encouraged to establish ‘the roots to grow and the wings to fly’. High quality teaching enables pupils to realise their academic potential, acquire skills, confidence and leadership qualities through participating in a broad range of activities.

Our aim is to develop to the full the talents of every one of our pupils and to promote their intellectual, moral, spiritual, academic, physical, cultural and social development – qualities they will need in order to confidently and productively take their place in the complex and ever-changing society in which we live.

As befits our status as one of the oldest non-denominational schools in the country, we cherish our distinctive ethos, developed and evolved over the centuries, which allows us to give much individual care and attention to our pupils and to monitor and motivate them as they make academic and personal progress.
