    • Our Trust Values

  • Community We build supportive and encouraging communities by celebrating achievements, recognising individuality, and keeping our Chaplaincy teams at the heart of school life.
  • Creation As caretakers of God's creation, we recognise it is our responsibility to care for the world around us. We model behaviour that inspires students to take this from the classroom and into their lives.
  • Compassion We show the love of Christ by working for the Common Good through supporting charities locally, within our diocese and internationally, both practically and through fundraising initiatives.
  • Peacemakers We show the love of God by offering forgiveness, supporting each other through mentoring and anti-bullying schemes, and give opportunities to reflect prayerfully on resilience, positive mental health and wellbeing.
