Our most recent Ofsted inspection in September 2023, saw us being judged strongly good in all areas. Our current SIAMS grading is outstanding. Both inspections evidence our excellent quality of education and commitment to ensure all students flourish both academically and pastorally. Recent outcomes at GCSE and A Level demonstrate strong progress for all students with the Academy’s GCSE results this summer being the highest the Academy has ever achieved. However, we are much more than a successful, academically focused school.

We are looking for staff who will always go the extra mile for our young people and believe that education happens both in and out of the classroom.
