Our Mission
Our mission is to help our students develop their confidence, maturity, knowledge and skills, turning their academic aspirations into reality.

- Assist students in achieving high academic success through a combination of small class sizes, high quality teaching and a clear focus on learning outcomes
- Provide an excellent system of pastoral support that is geared towards individual needs and recognises the personal and emotional challenges faced by 14 to 19 year olds
- Guide students to make informed choices about educational progression in such a way as to maximise their chances of securing places on competitive and prestigious courses
