Vision Statement

We invite you to join with us in creating something very special. We are building a fully inclusive environment that celebrates achievement, aspiration and a life-long passion for learning for all members of our community.

Through rich provision, a holistic approach to learning, excellent teaching and no ceiling on aspirations, our students will develop into young men and women who are successful, motivated, and proud to be ambassadors for themselves and their communities.

Our pupils will be highly literate and numerate and fully prepared to begin the next phase of their lives, able to work resiliently both as part of a team and independently. They will have a firm belief in their own potential and will always look for the potential in others. They will know how to lead healthy, safe and happy lives and will never lose a thirst for new knowledge.

Governors, staff, families and pupils will act as strong role models, setting high standards that create a clear identity and ethos for the school. Together we will build a reputation as a centre of excellence in Custom House; an inspiring beacon that is celebrated locally, nationally and internationally.
