The school became an Academy in September 2013 and was recognised by the Department for Education as a Teaching School in 2015. The school is committed to developing its trainees and teachers and to fostering the development of outstanding teaching. The school is not part of a multi-academy trust and trainees enjoy the benefits of a small and personalised community which is committed to creating careers for people.

Science colleagues benefit from the participation in the Prince’s Teaching Institute and their professional development is supported by one of the school’s Deputy Heads who is himself an outstanding science teacher.
