It is our pleasure to extend a very warm welcome to you and we hope that you will find all the necessary information that you require about our school and our unique approach to education. The High School opened in September 2012 and we have now reached the stage in our development where we have 550 pupils in years 7-11. Our sixth form largely comprises our own students, though we do also benefit from students joining our sixth form from other schools. In total, therefore, we have approximately 660 pupils that benefit from our virtues-led approach to education that nurtures both the minds and hearts of our pupils.
Happy International Microvolunteering Day! Microvolunteering Day promotes awareness of the microvolunteering concept and how it can enable worthy causes and individuals to better the world via bite-sized actions. It is a unique opportunity for dedicated microvolunteering platforms, volunteer-involving organisations and individuals to join together in a synchronised effort to promote their contributions and demonstrate the power and potential of the microvolunteering concept.
Happy Vaisakhi to our sikh students and families! Sikhs remember the 5 beloved ones. In 1699 they were the first to volunteer to give up their lives for Guru Gobind Singh Ji's message to always act with virtue, without vice and stand up for the meek. The celebration of Vaisakhi is the commemoration of the creation of the Khalsa for Sikhs. Vaisakhi is celebrated each year to mark the initial initiation ceremony which took place in India in 1699. 5 beloved ones were chosen as part of the first initiation ceremony introduced by the 10th guru, Guru Gobind Singh Ji.
Wishing our Christian students and families a very happy easter! Easter celebrates Jesus rising from the dead, three days after he was executed by crucifixion. Christians remember Jesus's suffering and death on the cross, and believe that Jesus sacrificed his life for humankind. Jesus asked God to forgive those who were torturing him. Christians believe that, through his resurrection, Jesus overcame death and sin. Easter is representative of rebirth, renewal and starting afresh.

Wishing all of our Muslim pupils, staff and families a very happy Ramadan! During the month of Ramadan, Muslims won't eat or drink during the hours of daylight. This is called fasting. Ramadan remembers the month the Qur'an was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. https://t.co/9TmjSHxITR
