We are a school that offers amazing opportunities for our students. Operating as a Science and Arts College since 2003 we have fantastic facilities. Our multimillion pound Sports Hall, EXCEL, opened in 2015 complementing our expansive playing fields and pitches. Our bespoke performing Arts building, INSPIRE, exudes creativity incorporating media suites, a large drama studio and a sprung dance floor. Our latest innovation has been our DISCOVER, state of the art science labs, opened in 2017.
We offer a huge range of external excursions for all curriculum areas, including to local colleges and universities, challenging stereotypes, raising aspirations and engendering a sense of awe and wonder from the world around us.
