About the school
“Our values today are captured in the school motto, adopted by those early scholars back in 1624. Te Digna Sequere - Follow things Worthy - is a principle that underpins the distinctive ethos of the school.”
Established school - open since before 2011. Became an academy in June 2011, continuing the school that was already there.
