facility houses our planetarium whilst also providing a lecture theatre, number
of classrooms and a computer room. For our STEM enthusiasts we offer
access to additional qualifications, such as GCSE Astronomy and Sixth Form
students lead a weekly club for Key Stage 3 students who have a passion for
Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths.
All of our staff are dedicated and committed to raising standards and
developing each child to reach their potential. We have a strong emphasis
on academic achievement, backed up by the real knowledge of each student’s
individual needs. Students learn in a positive, healthy and challenging
