We are a true comprehensive school which is built on strong family values, where everyone is seen, recognised and valued.
This has led to us becoming one of the most successful and oversubscribed schools in the region.
To continue to fulfill our ambitions for our students we need outstanding staff who are dedicated, passionate, dynamic, caring and inspiring.
