Values and vision

One of the school’s key aims is to make sure that the life chances of its pupils are improved by preparing them for a successful life in modern British society.

The Challenger multi academy trust’s mission is to create a federation of outstanding schools where every student has the opportunity to participate in engaging and active learning experiences, and achieve excellent education outcomes in an inclusive and high performing school system.

The trust wants to do what is best for all pupils, parents, teachers and staff. Its aim is to see students achieve their full potential within a framework of challenge and support, with strong teaching excellence and governance.

“The quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good across both of these key stages.” 

“Pupils behave very well and they develop positive attitudes to their learning. They are happy at the school and work hard. Pupils take great pride in their work and almost always present it carefully.”
