The school rightly puts learning and individual achievement at the heart of all it does and we are extremely proud of the academic achievement of our students who, for many years, have been performing above national levels.

The school is a high performing specialist school at the centre of its community, and we pride ourselves on it being a happy and purposeful environment in which to learn.
