Our co-educational 11-18 students can study a broad range of subjects through our innovative curriculum. We are an oversubscribed Academy with a Visual Arts Specialism that has gained a national reputation for being at the cutting edge of contemporary practice in art. In February 2015 Ofsted judged the school to be good in every category, including the 6th form, where many of our students choose to stay to continue their studies. We are part of the TKAT family, one of the largest multi-academy Trust's in the South East of England, who's ultimate aim is to ensure that educational standards are driven up through the provision of outstanding teaching, leadership and learning for all.
