Welcome.
Our College opened in September 2004 and moved into new state of the art buildings in 2006. We have outstanding facilities that are very hard to match.
Schools are about people and da Vinci is the good place that it is because of what our students, staff, parents and Governors bring to it. We are immensely proud of our College. People who visit us find a well-ordered, secure and caring environment where young people and adults alike can achieve their full potential. We have very high expectations, believing that learning should be challenging, stimulating and above all enjoyable. We are a small school by design and have created a family ethos where staff know their students well.
Our College is founded on three principles: Respect, learning and achievement. The improvement in results since we opened is impressive and we are now within the top 10% of schools nationally for student progress. We have recently gained specialist Technology status, the Healthy School award, Careers Mark, the International School Award and we are a Food for Life flagship school.
We hope that you enjoy using our website. The site is updated regularly and we would welcome any comments that you may have so that we can improve it further. A selection of recent events that have taken place at da Vinci are listed to the side. If you would like to see other events please click on the News and Events link. Our website can however only give you a flavour of our College. You are very welcome to visit at any time to meet our students and staff and to see the College in operation.
With very best wishes
Rob Martlew (Principal)
