Teaching and Learning

Our aims: 

To enable our pupils/students to develop a real love of learning, through quality teaching and learning in a safe environment. We will provide learning which pupils/students value and which brings out the best in them. We will motivate them to succeed both now and in the future, achieving their personal best. We will give our learners the best chances of happiness and fulfilment in their adult lives. To do this, we will offer the best possible opportunities for effective personal development and the conditions which support positive well-being in a ‘happy school’.
