The school prides itself on its honesty, and wishes potential applicants to be aware that the school is currently in Special Measures.

Don’t just look at the advert and read the website.  Contact the school and arrange a visit to see for yourself.  Contact Dawn Becton on 01904 555552 to arrange a visit to meet with Rod Sims the Head of School.
