Houseroom's view of the school.
The school follows Benedictine values of 'teaching a way of living', encouraging pupils to show respect for themselves, others, and the world around them. The school motto, *a minimus incipe* ('from small beginnings'), constantly reminds pupils of their potential. Head Joe Smith describes the Benedictine community as giving pupils 'a compass for life'.

Pastoral care is strong. Every pupil up to the sixth form has two tutors who monitor co-curricular involvement, personal difficulties, and career aspirations.

All staff have mental health first-aid training. The school counsellor is described by pupils as 'always booked up'. Pastoral workshops are also hosted for parents.
