Vision and Strategy
Our vision is to empower boys to develop great hearts, inspired minds and strong wings, ready to make a positive contribution to society and the future.
Pathway to the Future
The Strategic Plan for 2020-2024 builds upon the beliefs developed by the pioneers of the College. It takes stock of what we do for our boys, identifies what we really want for (and from) each of them, and offers plans to make it happen. It also reflects on the vital role of staff. We hope this combination will make our boys fit for the future that will define their adult lives.

The future is an exciting, challenging place. The future of work, the future of truth, the future of the planet, the future of our humanity and more requires us to think again about practices and approaches that best fit our students for the future.
