Set in a beautiful green campus near Abingdon, the school is known for its forward-thinking approach to education, where the arts are placed at the heart of learning. The school encourages collaboration, creativity, and curiosity, with an emphasis on well-being, social awareness, and self-expression.

Students are supported to take ownership of their learning, and teachers are given the autonomy to innovate, experiment, and inspire. The Performing Arts are a key pillar of the school’s identity, and drama plays an essential role in building confidence, empathy, and communication.
