‘The support has been amazing to put it simply… I have felt incredibly valued … The students have been unbelievable … been eager to impress, work-together and progress…It’s been an unforgettable experience’ – Trainee teacher March 2016.

The Maths Curriculum Area is very strong, with high quality teaching and learning at the forefront of our ethos.  This is a very exciting time to join our team, as we are embedding a new style of approach to the teaching of Maths.  This is rapidly accelerating the progress of our students and will move the outcomes forward to build on existing success.  ‘A high proportion of students now leave this school having made excellent progress in English, mathematics and science’ Ofsted (Jan 2013).
