We are a forward-thinking school and aim to ensure that all of our students are afforded the highest standard of education. We were awarded World Class School status in 2019 and are a leading-edge Hub school in both Computing and Modern Foreign Languages. We are a highly successful Teaching School and support many other establishments, as well as developing trainee teachers as they embark on their careers in education.  Extensive building developments in recent years have resulted in additional teaching space, a bespoke Sixth Form area and state of the art gym facilities.

Our focus on high quality teaching throughout the school provides a stimulating and challenging classroom experience; this has resulted in excellent academic outcomes for many years. We offer a curriculum that is rich, varied and ambitious for every student and deliver a wide range of academic and technical qualifications, while ensuring that 60-70% of students are entered for the English Baccalaureate at the end of Year 11. Furthermore, we actively encourage progression from Sixth Form to top Russell Group universities and high-quality apprenticeships.
