"Students enjoy school immensely, because they have so many opportunities for success and to develop their special talents in an exciting and well-tailored curriculum."

Our provision for support ensures that all students receive the help they need to become high achieving, well-rounded, responsible global citizens.

We encourage academic brilliance and as such the vast majority of our students study for the English Baccalaureate during key stage 4. However, we still firmly believe in a broad and balanced curriculum with creativity embedded throughout. The Arts are firmly rooted in our academic traditions.

"Students' make an excellent contribution to the wider community through extensive fundraising for numerous national and international charitable causes."

Strategic management at all levels, organisation, resourcing and support for arts provision has had an outstanding impact on the vibrant arts provision, pupil experiences, maturity and achievements within the arts. Pupils work is of an extremely high quality and they are both mature and articulate in how they express their achievements.
