We are ambitious for the long term health and wellbeing of our staff and students.
Both inside and outside of the classroom, CBAT develops a friendly and inclusive school community in which students feel safe, well supported and motivated.
Pastoral care is a vital part of our schools and provides support to all students, recognising and responding to their needs.
Our approach includes an uncompromising commitment to traditional values and standards such as social responsibility, honesty and equality, as well as respect and consideration for others.
