About Us

We are consistently in the Top 5% of schools nationally for student progress, and Ofsted Outstanding school, and we have an amazing level of welfare support. As a small school, every individual student is known by the staff. We are able to tailor our curriculum and teaching practice to support the learning of the students.

We benefit from a state-of-the-art building with the very latest facilities and equipment.
