Values and vision
While academic attainment is of paramount importance at The College, there is also an in-depth focus on each student’s wider outcomes, such as becoming active citizens and retaining core abilities in English and mathematics. The school believes that if a student attends here they will receive a commitment to the whole student, enriching their lives, increasing their choices and improving their chances of success in an increasingly competitive world.
