The faculty comprises an Achievement Leader working with three Assistant Achievement Leaders and 10 main scale teachers. They are a cohesive team and have a strong commitment towards the highest standards of teaching and learning through a thematic, coherent and engaging curriculum.
In 2022, 74% of students gained a grade 4 in either English Language and/or Literature, with 59% of students achieving a grade 4 in both English and Maths.
