A 1997 campaign resulted in the school gaining the Community High School status it holds today.

“Young people experience a learning climate characterised by mutual respect and high-quality care. They demonstrate positive attitudes to learning. Almost all young people are highly motivated and enjoy school. In most lessons young people work well in pairs and teams to complete collaborative tasks and support each other to achieve. They would benefit from more consistent high-quality oral and written feedback on how to improve their work.”
