Our excellent programme of enrichment activities and experiences is designed to complement the academic curriculum.
We know that choosing a secondary school is one of the most important decisions you will make for your children and family.
We are ambitious for excellence in all we do and our vision, which although established and sustained, is to provide the best possible education for all our students and to remain an exceptional educational establishment locally and nationally. We are never complacent.
The relationships between our staff and our students are exceptional and ones that we are proud of. Our staff have high expectations, are ambitious for our students and they know them well. The rigorous focus on the child as a unique individual, including our most disadvantaged and those with SEND, ensures that the lessons that our students receive are personalised and inclusive, enabling them to be actively engaged in their learning. We encourage you to come and see this for yourselves.
