Our vision is to enable all to flourish and succeed.

Our School Improvement Model:

Our staff believe in a school led improvement system and our approach to school improvement is based on the national school support model whereby the wealth of expertise in our staff team support schools using a variety of strategies according to needs. 

We start from the premise that all schools should be capacity givers and receivers and we have high expectations of all. Systematic development towards these high expectations sits at the heart of our school improvement model. 

Our model recognises the different intervention needed at different stages

of improvement that a school undertakes.
