Values and vision 

The school's vision is based on the values of aspiration, achievement, personal responsibilities, self-discipline and mutual care. It aims to be a happy and safe place where students can learn successfully within a supportive environment. Teachers believe that all students can achieve their full potential, both academically and socially. Pupils are encouraged to develop and grow as independent, resourceful and resilient individuals, and they are equipped with the skills and qualifications they will need to be successful when they join the world as adults. 

Ofsted report 

“By the time pupils join Year 7, standards in reading, writing and mathematics are above average. The proportion of pupils making and exceeding the expected levels of progress is also much higher than found nationally. The proportion of pupils attaining higher than expected levels is also rising.” 

“Students make exceptional progress in Key Stages 3 and 4. For each of the last five years, the proportion of students gaining five A* to C passes, including English and mathematics, has been well above the national average. A recent relative weakness in science has been tackled effectively and, this year, the proportion of students gaining A* to C passes in all subjects is on course to be well above average. The college no longer makes early entries to GCSE examinations.”
