Expectations of Our Students


We have very high expectations of our pupils, both academically and socially. Particular emphasis is placed upon:


  • Achieving success - making academic progress and gaining mastery of the skills needed for life long learning is our primary aim.
  • Taking part - making use of all the opportunities that our expanded curriculum can offer. This includes full attendance and involvement in all compulsory and elective activities. It also includes being at school every day unless excused for medical reasons.
  • Behaving in a sensible and mature manner - our rules are designed to ensure pupil welfare, safety and happiness. These are strictly enforced and pupils who don't adhere to our guidelines will find themselves being interviewed by Senior Teachers, Deputy Principals and Principal. (Bullying and bad language, in particular, will not be tolerated at any time.) The school also expects high standards of our pupils while on the way to and from school.
  • Presenting oneself well - uniform is compulsory. It must be worn at all times, including when coming to and going from school. Please note also that we discourage outrageous hairstyles and permit only minimal jewellery at school.

Parents and caregivers are asked to support the school's standards. All parents have the right to expect the school staff to work hard for their children's education. Similarly, the school has the right to expect parents to provide the support that is necessary to achieve the best.

We believe that our pupils enjoy a safe and supportive learning environment. Parent surveys have confirmed this view. Co-operation between home and school is the key to making this environment work effectively for your child.
