We look for our students to live out these values each day.We are a community school which seeks to develop aspirational students ready to embrace opportunities. A feature of our school is the string relationships our staff build with students, getting to know them well to provide the best support possible.We have a modern and attractive site with excellent facilities set in the most idyllic location. As a smaller than average sized school students can settle quickly and feel part of our community.
As an 11-16 school we work hard to support students on their future pathways, not just their long-term career aspirations but also helping the into the right step in their Post-16 journey.
