Ensure the physical space and buildings are fit for purpose and can accommodate increasing demand and the changing needs of cohorts.

To support students following the impact of the pandemic, understanding the negative effects on their SEMH needs and disengagement from learning.
Our core values:

To celebrate individual and collective success.

To be courageous and ambitious and to aspire to reach the full potential in all that we do.
-
To embrace difference and enable belonging.
Strategic plan:
i used to be so scared about being ‘out’ as a teacher, and expressing myself honestly in schools. i’ve just finished a parents evening where so many parents thanked me for that, and for showing their children that they can be confident in being themselves. i’m feeling very proud.
