Teacher of Humanities

Ofsted stated (2018):

“An impressive ethos pervades the school. Its motto ‘Love to learn, learn to live, live to love’ reflects the Christian principles that underpin the school’s work. The school is fully inclusive of all faiths and beliefs. It values each individual whatever their background, aptitudes and experiences. It has nourished a very positive climate for learning in the school, which helps all pupils to thrive.”

SIAMS (2017) identified:

“Parents speak highly of the care which their children receive and are very supportive of the vertical tutor groups which develop a caring, family environment.  Pastoral care extends to all members of the school community.  Staff also talk about the school having a family feel which is welcoming to new members of staff and supportive of all.”
