Vision

We welcome the students back to the academy to embark on their journey in Year 8. We want the students to return enthusiastic about continuing their learning and look forward to the wonderful enrichment opportunities they will have this year.

We succeeded with attendance last academic year winning every week for the whole year. Let’s keep the title this year!
