Alder Grangers will use analysis, innovation and creativity to understand and adapt to the digital and physical world around them.

discover and develop their knowledge and passions through relevant, engaging, creative and inspirational learning activities, both within the core curriculum and enrichment provision.
be prepared for the future, either with qualifications to embark on a related future career, or with the necessary knowledge, understanding and skills required to be a confident, resilient, and adaptive member of our digital society and business workforce.
be good citizens who consider safety, wellbeing, inclusion and accessibility through the lens of social, legal and ethical impacts of their own and others’ decisions.
