Inspection Report:
Ofsted
Our school is a highly successful 11-18 mixed comprehensive of some 1,200 students including approximately 200 in the Sixth Form, set in extensive, attractive grounds and playing fields.
With the status of a Technology College, it has enabled us to enhance our facilities and opportunities to challenge young people at every level in our world of technological change.
Our aim is to encourage students to develop into mature and confident young people who play an active part in all aspects of school life. With our strong guidance and pastoral care systems, our students are valued, supported and given every
opportunity for personal development through
the full spectrum of subjects and extra curricular
activities, with particularly high achievement in
sport.
The school has a first class teaching and support
staff who are friendly, welcoming and helpful.
Everyone works effectively and there is a genuine
concern to provide high quality education alongside
support for our students. We are a fully inclusive
school, preparing students with the skills to learn
throughout their lives as citizens of the 21st century.
We welcome applications from our own school
community as well as entrants from outside of the
school. New entrants quickly settle in and make
friends.
Choosing the right secondary school is an
important decision. We all want to provide the best
possible all round education for our young people
and will work in partnership with you, in order to
fulfil your child’s full potential.
