The website aims to provide you with information about our exceptional institution. It contains details about who we are, how we operate, and how well we perform in various contexts. Additionally, it gives parents and carers information on how to collaborate with us to support the growth and development of their kid. We have a great deal of pride in our school and the students who attend. Our pupils do a great job representing the institution. They grow into intelligent, self-assured young adults who are dedicated to getting ready for their future careers and academic interests. Exam results demonstrate their outstanding growth. Many of our students decide to remain in the sixth form while others enrol in suitable programmes or find apprenticeships with a vocational focus. Every year, 200 Post 16 students transfer to universities. Our staff is committed to giving students the best help possible so they can succeed in school. This has to do with extracurricular activities, spiritual care, and academic progress. Our staff are well qualified and the school supports them to share best practice so that our standard of teaching and support is both high quality and also continually developing. The Performance sections of the website contain all of our exam results as well as Ofsted reports and other practise evaluations. We hope you enjoy finding out more about our school and experiencing what it's like to live in our neighbourhood.
