It's representative of the real world, at one with the vibrant local community and positioned in the heart of the city, where creativity and commerce are in full view.
Wellbeing
Staff create a caring and supportive atmosphere to help make each child feel safe and secure. The House and Tutorial systems are the formal structures for looking after the pupils, but further support comes from informal sources of spiritual and social guidance.
