Staff professional development is fundamental to our improvement journey. We invest heavily in providing staff with a bespoke package of support, tailored to their own individual needs. Learning and teaching is central in everything we do, and we are developing an enquiry-led culture that drives our professional learning.

We are committed to ensuring all our pupils develop as successful individuals, from our most vulnerable pupils to our more able and talented learners. We recognise that for pupils to achieve their potential, their learning needs to be personalised to meet their individual needs. We also recognise that learning is more than academic achievement but should be centred on the development of the whole child, including their personal development. Ultimately, we strive to be a centre where learning is valued, and pupils achieve their potential in a happy and safe community where they show respect and tolerance for others.
