The aim of the School is the steady and unpretentious pursuit of quality in everything that is done here. The School admits students of considerable academic ability. That ability will be stretched to the full. We teach students how to think and stimulate them to exceed their own expectations. This is a Christian School. Students and staff of other faiths or no faith at all are respected. However, Christian principles pervade the School. We seek to promote personal and social development, which embraces knowledge and understanding of oneself and others and encourages self-esteem and a positive interaction with society. It encompasses consideration for others, tolerance, honesty and fairness, effective communication, an ability to reflect on and learn from mistakes, and mental, spiritual and physical well-being. We encourage teaching that promotes the development of oral expression and widens students' views on issues raised by the syllabus or themselves, as well as developing a more open relationship between the staff and students. The pastoral system involves every member of staff and is integral to the well-being of the School. There will always be someone in the School to whom each student can respond and who is able to make that student feel he or she is special and important.
