Our co-educational 11-18 students can study a broad range of subjects through our innovative curriculum. We are an oversubscribed Academy with a Visual Arts Specialism that has gained a national reputation for being at the cutting edge of contemporary practice in art. In February 2015 Ofsted judged the school to be good in every category, including the 6th form, where many of our students choose to stay to continue their studies.

We have excellent facilities and continue to invest in resources to enhance our students learning. We have a rich and full range of extra curricular activities including a school choir, sports clubs, STEM club, reading club and other performing arts and curriculum based activities, as well as our educational trips and visits and charity expeditions.
