We place a high priority on democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, respect for one another, and tolerance of people of diverse religions and beliefs in everything we do. We place a high priority on protecting our kids and preparing them for life in contemporary Britain. This values-based vision places a strong emphasis on restorative practises.
