Welcome to Our School

We want all of our students to enjoy school and to feel cared for and supported. We believe passionately that our success as a school depends on ensuring that each of our students are respected, feel confident and understand and support our school values.

We work hard to ensure all of our students achieve the very best that they can in their academic studies and we are extremely proud of the results that our students achieve at both GCSE and A level.

Our pastoral team are dedicated to helping every student maximise their potential whilst here. The high level of advice and support that our students receive complements the specialist teaching that is integral to academic success. We believe that this partnership, combined with a supportive relationship with parents, enables our students to succeed in every area of school life.
