About Us


In this corner of South East London we have a clear mission: to run a great school which offers every child, regardless of circumstance, the chance to thrive both personally and academically.


We make no apology for believing a key part to a happy and fulfilled life is a great set of exam results.

They are the currency which students require to progress to next stage of their education. No amount of celebrity disapproval or stories of successagainst the odds will convince us otherwise. Results matter to our community.


We know that academic progress is critical to our students enjoying lives of choice and opportunity but that they also need to develop the content of their character and have a range of rich experiences which they will never forget.

We want to help studentshave warm hearts and cool heads so that they are ready for the challenges of adolescence and ultimately adulthood.

In short, we want our students to live well.


Our students are very proud to be a part of our school community because they know that this is a place where they can Step into their Greatness.
