Our Values:
Our school crest, proudly created by our pupils, encapsulates all of our values. The central images represent our three ‘Life Values’ – Safe, Polite, Aspirational – named so as they are universal and go beyond the school gates into every aspect of our lives. They are ways of ‘being’ rather than a set of ‘rules’, helping to shape us into positive citizens of the world.
Our school motto is simple, yet powerful: FEARLESS
If there is one quality above all else we want to instil, it is to be fearless.
Historically, geographically and academically, we have always been told it can’t be done.
We have had the bar lowered again and again.
All the signs said the odds were stacked against us.
Sadly, we had come to believe this. We became fearful, including of ourselves.
But no more.
Now we have a renewed sense of self and belief. We are strong in our moral purpose and will therefore be resolute in our actions. We will challenge injustice where we see it and will enable the downtrodden to be strong. We don’t accept any tag or label or ceiling and can achieve anything we want.
We have no fear.
We are fearless.
