The school’s results place it in the top 10% of schools nationally. We moved, in November 2012, into a brand new £80 million school. The school became an Academy in September 2013.
The school is committed to developing its teachers and to fostering the development of outstanding teaching. Its approach is one of personalised staff development and action planning delivered through coaching and modelling of good practice. The school has exceptional facilities for the teaching of Physical Education. These include a stunning sports hall, fitness suite, 25m swimming pool, two Dance Studios, a 4G astro turf pitch and multi-use games area.
Physical Education is an exciting, dynamic and important aspect of the school’s curriculum. The outstanding facilities which the school possesses give rise to a popular and varied extra-curricular programme which is supported superbly by students. Students study GCSE PE in vertical teaching groups comprising of students in Years 9, 10 and 11. This is common practice across all GCSE option subjects and it is enormously successful.
