| "Our vision for the future is to provide a 21st Century learning environment that ensures that each individual fulfils their potential by providing learning opportunities that are continuous, relevant and adaptable. We will use the latest technologies to provide challenge, pace and rigour for pupils and staff but building on the values of the Sisters of Mercy reflecting fairness, respect and care.
Our building is innovative and challenges conventions but is designed to be flexible to meet the likely demands of the Future. Our lead architect Scott Prisco is the award winning designer of the Microsoft High School of the Future in Philadelphia, which staff and students have visited. We have designed our curriculum to provide connected learning for our young people developing the skills required for the demands of our rapidly changing world."
