The school also prides itself on offering many extra-curricular clubs, which it believes will give students a more well-rounded school experience.

Ofsted report 

“The headteacher has secured the necessary changes within school to improve the quality of teaching so that it is now good. Senior and middle leaders work alongside the headteacher to review the progress pupils make. Through discussion with class teachers, support is then provided to those pupils who may be making slower progress. Teachers’ expectations of how well pupils can achieve have risen. Senior leaders have provided one-to-one support to help improve the skills of individual teachers… Teaching is effective and pupils make good progress in their lessons.”
