About our school The school has 220 pupils in the 11-16 age range. We are a value-led organisation, with high ambitions for all students and staff.

The values that underpin our work are Respect, Resilience and Curiosity. The aim of the school is that all our students are supported to reach their potential and leave as happy, curious and well-rounded individuals with the knowledge, skills and qualifications they need for the next stage in their lives.
