This collaboration demonstrates our commitment to staff development - whether you are at the beginning of your career or developing your teaching and leadership pathways.

Ofsted

“Students are extremely keen to learn: they take every opportunity to be involved in classroom activities and to support the learning of others. Students work exceptionally well together on group tasks and advise one another on how to improve with very little direction from the teacher. When given responsibility for their learning, students accept this with relish”.
