The school’s motto, ‘Born to Love, Live to Do’, sits truly at its heart. Pupils learn the importance of giving back to the community to make life better for everyone. They learn important social skills which enable them to speak eloquently to a wide range of people. For example, prior to visiting a local care home, pupils learn how to strike up conversations with the residents.
