We pride ourselves on our ethos and culture which promotes positive relationships and behaviour.

Pupils show dedication to learning and pay close attention to their teacher’s instruction”’.
English is a leading department within the school and we are proud of our outstanding record of success. In summer 2024, 81.6% of our students achieved a Grade 4 or higher in English.
Please note that the school reserves the right to interview on receipt of applications, and to appoint prior to the deadline, so early application is recommended.
