About the school
“A successful school is built on the relationships that are built between staff, pupils and parents and I believe this is a real strength of the school. Our Mission is very simple – “Empowering Minds, Enriching Lives “ of everyone within the Cavendish Education Trust community.”
Established school - open since before 2012. Became an academy in August 2012, continuing the school that was already there.
