What the school offers its staff

Our school is situated on the Cumbrian coast on the edge of the Lake District National Park and not as remote as you might imagine!

It really doesn’t rain all the time!

In January 2019 we moved to our new £33m school, which was individually designed (not an ‘off-the-shelf’ model!) and we have state of the art facilities including a full size, floodlit 4G astroturf pitch, sportshall, activity studio, pool, new grass pitches and tennis courts.
