School Values

Inspire, Empower, Achieve

Inspire

Our ambitious and stimulating education experience develops inquisitive mindsets and motivates students to recognise and embrace opportunities in life.

Empower

A nurturing and supportive environment is key to strengthening a student’s resolve, giving them the attitude, skills, and confidence to overcome any challenge.

Achieve

We recognise the ambition of each student, work with them to understand their goals, and support them to persevere and achieve success.

Boarding Accommodation

We have eleven boarding houses offering a home-away-from- home, age-specific accommodation. Each house has its own unique character, but all students benefit from exceptional care and support from professional houseparents. Activities and cross-house competitions enable all boarders to develop their emotional intelligence, social skills and empathy whilst having fun with their friends. Our aim is to assist students in becoming confident, self-aware, happy and caring young people.
