Our CommunityWe have a rich community of pupils, parents and staff, supporting the school and its students in so many ways. We seek to help our wider communities, to which we have social and moral responsibilities. This happens through charitable giving and through the community activities we support. Community involvement in school life makes for a closer partnership in the realisation of our common aims.
