Values
We are aware of the needs of our students to develop morally
and spiritually as well as academically and socially.
Religious Education is taught by specialist teachers throughout
the school. The importance attached to Christianity in our society
is reflected whilst taking account of the teaching and practices
of other principal religions represented in Great Britain.
We have a strong system of pastoral care, which ensures that
every child is known and treated as an individual. College students
provide help and encouragement for the younger children by means
of a mentoring system.
