Supporting the personal growth of every pupil is at the heart of our school CORE Values. Every week, we introduce a new theme across our school community to spark reflection and meaningful conversation. Launched during assemblies, each Thought of the Week connects directly to one of our CORE Values - giving us a space to explore big ideas and bring those values to life, both in and out of the classroom.
