This historic school is built upon a fine record of academic attainment underpinned by a broad range of co-curricular activities and a learning environment that values care and respect for others. It is a happy, vibrant place, full of energy and enthusiasm and brimming with aspiring and ambitious people who want to make the most of themselves and help those around them to do the same.
