Motivating for Success
Working in partnership with parents and students is at the heart of the way in which the school operates. We believe that students can be most effectively supported in their learning and development if school and home work closely together with full co-operation on both sides.
Students are confident in using grade or level criteria to assess their work and to identify what they
need to improve. They know their targets and are motivated to achieve them. They take pride in
their success.

“ “The curriculum is kept constantly under review and makes an excellentcontribution to raising achievement. It has been broadened at all key stages
to meet the wide range of students’ needs and attainment, with moreemphasis on vocational or applied courses and a greater concentration on
developing skills and effective approaches to learning.

are efficiently organised, have a clearpurpose and are well structured. We
promote positive attitudes and we willnot tolerate classroom disrupters. Theworking environment is attractive asmuch effort is put into displays and
seating arrangements.
We are able to attract the best teachersand we ensure that they too continue to
learn and develop.
Students' personal development is excellent and they make an extremely positive contribution
to the life of the school, frequently leadinginitiatives and providing support as peer
mentors or reading buddies. They take great pride in their school.

Post-16 Opportunities
The main difference that Post-16 students will notice is that they are expected to take a greater responsibility for their progress. They will enjoy greater freedom to organise their study timebetween lessons, choose appropriate dress, relax in theirown refectory and so on. As they are treated like youngadults, they are expected to act in an adult manner too:setting a good example to younger pupils and becomingmuch more independent as students.
