Welcome to our website. It is a great honour and privilege for me to be the Principal of this school and continue the fantastic work done by my predecessors. It is my vision to continue the tradition of the school in providing a holistic, inclusive education within a happy caring environment for all pupils and staff. We offer a range of activities from sports to IT, music to drama and much more to our students. As a school, we welcome and encourage parental and community involvement. I have an open door policy and I urge all parents to take the opportunity to discuss any issue with me so that we can move forward together. I look forward to working with all members of the school community as we strive to provide the best education to our students.
