Our Mission

A particular strength is the success of the college in fostering the self-esteem of students, their confidence and their self-knowledge. This is based on excellent relationships between staff and students, the work of directors of studies with their tutees and the habit of praise and encouragement from teachers.

We therefore aim to:

• Work in partnership with parents to encourage a strong work ethic and the confidence and self-belief to achieve those aspirations
  
  
• Provide a broad and flexible curriculum that allows bespoke programmes of study which reflect individual needs and allow students to cultivate their specific academic interests and aptitudes
  
  
• Assist students in achieving high academic success through a combination of small class sizes, high quality teaching and a clear focus on learning outcomes
  
  
• Provide an excellent system of pastoral support that is geared towards individual needs and recognises the personal and emotional challenges faced by 14 to 19 year olds
  
  
• Guide students to make informed choices about educational progression is such a way as to maximise their chances of securing places on competitive and prestigious courses
  
  
• Provide a friendly and informal environment in which students are encouraged to develop personal discipline and values, lead fulfilled lives and make a positive contribution to society
