• develop our learners’ skills, talents and personalities to prepare them for learning, life and work beyond school as happy, confident and responsible people who enjoy success in a sustained positive destination

We are particularly interested in growing meta-skills and ensuring our young people are able to articulate their development in this as they progress through school and beyond into their chosen next steps.
