This is a hugely exciting time for the school. At this point of significant national change in education, we are highly ambitious for our students and we recognise that our staff are essential to their success. Examination results have shown impressive attainment in the last few years and, as a result, the school is regularly oversubscribed.
Our students are our best advertisement. They are motivated, hard working and well behaved. In July 2023, Ofsted noted that ‘pupils are mature, polite and considerate of others’, further observing that ‘Pupils show positive attitudes towards learning’.
