All students irrespective of ability, race, gender or need are respected and valued as individuals. Students with SEND are fully included in all aspects of the life of our school, including its social and cultural activities. We are committed to narrowing the attainment gap between SEND and non-SEND students and offer a range of personalised learning interventions/opportunities to support this. We are very proud of all our students and their achievements.

We particularly welcome applications from BAME candidates or from other groups that are underrepresented in the UK education system. We are a single sex school but we encourage any gender to apply for staff posts.
