Having spent a huge amount of time and effort on our curriculum, quality of teaching, and school culture over the past few years, we are proud to be one of the most improved schools in the country, based on our year 11 outcomes.
We boast an extremely calm, purposeful learning environment.
Our behaviour systems and processes are second to none, and we work hard to give our students outstanding pastoral support so that they can achieve in all that they do.
Our extra-curricular opportunities offer a range of adventure learning and extra-curricular careers experiences for students, run by our specialist Enrichment Engagement Officer.”
