We are also very fortunate to occupy a stunning 17-million-pound building with extensive grounds which we moved into in 2014. We have also invested in nearly one million pounds of cutting-edge IT equipment to support all aspects of Academy life.

We have high expectations of every student, offer the best quality teaching and insist on the highest standards of behaviour and respect.

We welcome students from a wide range of backgrounds and expect all families to value and support the moral values at the heart of all aspects of life at the Academy. We foster understanding, tolerance and mutual respect whilst producing confident, capable and respectful young people. At all times, we aim to create an environment that nurtures and develops:
