It seeks to challenge every student and ensure they become lifelong learners. The school’s primary values are inclusion and equality, respect and tolerance, celebration of achievement, honesty, and caring for the environment.

Extra-curricular activities are also considered important and a wide variety of clubs and teams explore arts and sports.
Ofsted report
“A key factor is teachers’ ability to plan effective strategies that ensure active learning, promote confidence and independence, and engage all students in their learning. This is especially evident in sixth-form lessons. Another factor is that many teachers skilfully pose questions which require students to reply in detail, explain their responses and extend their thinking.”
