At Orchard Park, it is our vision that every student who belongs to our school community has a better chance of success than if they attended any other school. We are ambitious for our students; they are challenged, inspired and encouraged to reach their full potential. Success is not just measured by academic achievement but also by the character of an individual. 

In January 2024, after a rigorous process, we were awarded the ACE school of Character Quality Mark. It reflects the commitment of Orchard Park to deliver an education that teaches our young people to be great citizens, morally good and well-rounded. 

Our aim is to make every child in our care the very best version of themselves by nurturing their interests and talents, developing their moral compass and supporting them to be virtuous, ambitious and driven so that they achieve excellence and flourish throughout their lives.

Students at Orchard Park will experience a rich tapestry of opportunities both within our broad curriculum offer and through our extensive extra-curricular provision that will shape their life choices, develop their sense of pride, ambition and confidence and prepare them for their next steps in life. Our core values of Drive, Collaboration, Excellence and Integrity are intrinsic to and permeate all aspects of school life to ensure students that leave Orchard Park are well-rounded, intelligent, caring and conscientious members of their local and global community, with an awareness and appreciation for the lives of others.
