We have the highest expectations of all our students and believe that there are no limits on what they can achieve. We understand and recognise the enormous role that our parents play in realising the true potential of all young people.

OUR VISION & VALUES

  • To lead the best life possible

    “I have come that you may have life in all its fullness.”
    JOHN 10:10

The Golden Rule – Matthew 7:12 “Treat others as you wish to be treated”

Strong and positive relationships, where all are included and valued, and can discover their unique worth.

Luke 10:27 – “Love your neighbour as you love yourself”

Positive relationships, within and beyond the academy. Serving others, in the classroom and beyond, is second nature. 

Luke 15:32 – “He was lost but now has been found”

Where everyone can build perseverance and resilience in a culture where confidence can grow and mistakes become part of the learning process.

Matthew 7:24 – “Build your house on solid rock”

We want our academy to be a place where thoughtfulness, reflection and acquisition of knowledge is expected of everyone, regardless of their starting point.
