I am proud to lead an incredible team of staff, who go the extra mile to provide our students with an inspiring education, fully equipping them for their future lives. The values of friendship and knowledge, symbolised on our badge, underpin all our learning and development activities and ensure that the wellbeing of our students and staff is also cared for.

At the heart of our school ethos is a commitment to excellent teaching and aspiration, which drives progress and attainment. Our students thrive academically and also personally, with opportunities to take part in musical performances and a huge range of extra-curricular clubs; writing competitions and debates; community fundraising; student leadership; and careers events.

We have an inspiring and caring school community, which includes families, local businesses, our staff, PTA and, of course, our students. Why not have a look at our News pages, to see how we have found ways to support ourselves and others and develop our learning and talents?
