  • Reflection

    We nurture an understanding and respect for all people and cultures. We value the unique qualities of our schools and celebrate both the similarities and differences between our faith and community schools. We have high expectations, enabling every child to realise their potential, especially the most disadvantaged. We are ambitious for staff and encourage them to be reflective.

  • Collaboration

    We collaborate within schools, across our family of schools and with our wider communities. We listen and encourage, sharing what we do well and providing one another with high levels of challenge and support. By doing so, we ensure that all of our students and school communities benefit from our collective wisdom, energy and skill.

  • Creativity

    We value creativity in particular in music, the performing arts and co-curricular, providing exceptional opportunities for staff and children to be ambitious and to fulfill their creative potential.
