We have been ranked by Ofsted as ‘Outstanding’ since 2010.
We became a Multi Academy Trust from 1 April and as the Vector Learning Trust will be looking to become one of the leading education providers in the South West. This is an opportunity for the right person to come and join us on our journey. We are looking for someone who shares our vision to improve the life chances of the young people in the communities we serve and the passion to really want to make a difference.

“An expectation that only high-quality teaching is acceptable characterises the very positive attitudes of teachers. They contribute enthusiastically to the whole-school aim of raising standards of teaching and learning, and engage in training activities and share good practice. Teachers regularly give detailed feedback and guidance to help students improve their work.”
