The ethos of the College can be best summarised by our Mission Statement:
Our College is for people who:
ASPIRE
INVEST
RESPECT
• We ASPIRE to be outstanding: academically, professionally and personally.
• We INVEST fully in all we do, knowing that the more effort we commit the more benefits we can access.
• We RESPECT each other, ourselves and our environment.
These principles underpin all the policies and regulations which manage how we work together as students, staff, parents and trustees. The culture and ethos that these values sustain create the capacity to transform life chances, enabling all of us to stretch our potential to the full.
The College is also part of the Summit Learning Trust, for which the Mission Statement is below:
