This inclusive school promotes intellectual curiosity, collaboration, and consistency in both academic and pastoral support. With a commitment to STEM excellence, it offers a well-resourced science faculty and a team culture where support staff are valued and developed.
This school has strong systems in place for staff training, classroom behaviour and induction. The Science Department is known for developing pupil engagement and supporting learning through practical application of scientific theory.
