They want the school to become outstanding and they are doing the right things to achieve this.”

IT results for 2016 were significantly above national average with 79% of students achieving A*to C in GCSE ICT and 100% of student achieving A* to C equivalent in the BTEC First Award in Information and Creative Technology.
