Our Vision

Our vision is that of an orderly transition to a modern technology learning environment with the continued provision of the highest quality

education. Technology will be used to enhance academic provision, not replace it. It should be seen as

beneficial by staff and parents, and as a normal part of everyday life by the

students.
