Alongside the traditional GCSEs in English Language & Literature, the school offers A Levels in English Literature, English Language & Classical Civilisation. Student engagement across all key stages and qualifications offered by the department is exceptional. These consistently excellent results have been a major contributing factor to the extremely successful whole school outcomes that have been achieved in recent years. The school’s 2024 Progress 8 score of +0.11 was the seventh consecutive examination year where the school achieved a positive score on this key performance measure, and is a wonderful reflection of the talented and dedicated students and staff we have at the school.
This is a really exciting time to be joining our school and being part of an enthusiastic, forward-thinking and supportive team.
