About Our Client
Our client s High School is an 11-18 academy, with a newly evolving sixth form which sits as part of collaboration with the two other Education schools in the town.

The High School opened in redesigned and refurbished buildings in September 2012 and has grown from year groups of 150 to 240. It is widely recognised as a school which has seen rapid improvements in recent years.

The school's motto embodies the commitment of the community of staff, students and parents to ensuring the school continues to go from strength to strength.
