Our beliefs mean we employ and develop teachers who:
  • Meet individual student needs with consideration of a future perspective.
  • Live the school values and are prepared to be learners themselves.
  • Are prepared to be accountable and have challenging conversations around evidence of learning.
  • Have high expectations of themselves and their students but have some fun in the quest for success.
  • Have an expectation that everyone reaches their full potential by supporting cultural aspirations.
  • Are highly professional in working with all stakeholders to achieve maximum impact.
Our beliefs mean we aspire to create learners who are:
  • Well-rounded people who fulfil their potential.
  • Aware of their next learning steps and set challenging but achievable academic goals.
  • Curious innovators who take responsibility for themselves and demonstrate a sound work ethic.
  • IT savvy and globally connected contributors who are future-focused.
  • Empathetic team players with good manners and show appreciation.
  • Brave and resilient in the face of challenges and disappointments.
