The Community College aims to be an exciting and stimulating place to learn, one which treats all students as individuals, challenges and actively supports them, and provides for them with the widest range of educational opportunities possible. It is a safe and tolerant society, one which operates on the basis of mutual respect, where there are high expectations of conduct and a high regard for moral courage and teamwork. It is a place that supports and is supported by its local community, seeks to develop students understanding of the wider world and where creativity, adventure and new ideas are encouraged. Our values of “to succeed, to care, to inspire” underpin the intent of the curriculum we deliver as we strive to provide an education that prepares our young people for the future and enables them to make informed choices about the options available to them in our rural situation. It is driven by: - a need to counter low aspirations due to the actual and perceived limitations in choices and opportunities in the locality; - to broaden horizons through exposure to the wider world by increasing awareness of potential opportunities locally, nationally and internationally; and - to develop a resilient approach to academic and personal development due to the increasing levels of student anxiety and mental health issues. We believe that the best way to prepare our young people for the future is to persistently encourage high aspirations, achieve outstanding results and develop in them the necessary skills and attributes to be successful. We do this by setting challenging academic targets for students and staff and maintaining high expectations of both performance and behaviour throughout the year.
