We are inclusive and celebrate the diversity and uniqueness of everyone within the College. We care about our young people, with our first priority always being to make sure they are happy and safe so that they are able to learn.
You will see from our Ofsted report published in June 2026, under the new national inspection framework, that our school is recognised as welcoming and inclusive, with a strong culture of respect and high expectations. Inspectors judged the school to have met the Expected Standard in Attendance and Behaviour, Inclusion and Personal Development and Wellbeing, whilst confirming that the school meets the national expected safeguarding standard. The report highlights that “students behave well. Leaders have put in place clear routines… Learning typically continues without disruptions. Attitudes to learning are largely positive”. Inspectors also recognised our inclusive ethos, stating that” This is a community where students experience a positive sense of belonging”. These findings reflect the commitment of our staff, leaders and students to creating a calm, respectful and supportive learning environment, alongside our continued focus on securing the very best outcomes for all our young people. We encourage all prospective applicants to read the report before applying.
Our colleagues underpin our mission and values, sharing high expectations and collaborative opportunities through supportive networks. We care about each other and the real difference we can make to students’ futures, and we want to recruit staff who share our vision.
We are well located with good public transport links and excellent access to the motorway network.
