The school aims to nurture and inspire its pupils, helping them to fulfil their potential and grow in maturity and self-confidence. It places particular emphasis on instilling positive habits of learning and behaviour from an early age, whilst also maintaining strong links with families and offering good value.

The school supports pupils with a variety of needs and talents, providing specialist help for those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, additional English language support where needed, and a modified curriculum for the most able pupils and those with particular talents in areas such as art, music, dance, drama, sport and French.
