We are an outward looking, successful school that has served our local community for over 100 years. Relentless in our pursuit of excellence, our school has developed rapidly from a popular middle to an extended secondary school (9-16 years).
In recent years our school has gone from strength to strength. Our teachers are dedicated and committed to engaging, supporting and challenging our students to achieve in all aspects of life. Our vibrant curriculum combined with excellent teaching has resulted in our children achieving not only very high KS2 SATs results, but outstanding GCSE results in our very first year in the summer of 2017.
Our Key Stage 2 joins seamlessly with our Key Stage 3 and 4 curriculum and builds on the successes of our colleagues at our partner schools. It is a combination of all these elements that fashions our high standards at GCSE.
Having been judged as 'Good with outstanding features' by Ofsted in June 2017, we were delighted that the inspectors recognised our aspirational vision for the school and our determination to ensure that all our pupils excel. In addition, they commented that "leaders and teachers have developed a culture in which pupils expect and want to be challenged."
As part of the highly successful Scholars' Education Trust, we plan to build upon this success through benefiting from an exceptional range of support and guidance that the Trust can provide.
We enjoy a close-knit community, where we pride ourselves on providing high quality education and individualised care. Following the 'values-based' education philosophy, we promote and nurture our students to have a strong sense of social responsibility, ready for the wider world.
