Our high standards are evident in a number of areas – academic, sporting, artistic, cultural and behaviour. We will never compromise on these high standards – and we will commit ourselves to helping our children to be the best they can be.
Our Sports College Status has brought with it substantial achievements – obviously sporting but also across other subjects and within the local community in areas such as our outstanding productions, community events such as the Senior Citizens Christmas Party, and our International School Award ~ the first to be awarded to a Dudley school. We are, furthermore, one of the first schools nationally to be granted our own Army Cadet Detachment. We were also the first school in Dudley to receive the Leading Parent Partnership Award, awarded at the time to only 250 schools, mainly around London. We have now been reaccredited for the award for a fourth time. We believe that we are the first school to do this. We take seriously the idea of ‘in loco parentis’, the idea that while students are with us we are their parents and, like all parents, we want the absolute best for them. This is a school with a good deal of pride in itself – we are proud of our young people and we are proud of the caring education they receive.
