Teaching and learning
We put learning at the heart of everything we do. Staff have high expectations of all students whatever their backgrounds or abilities and we expect students to make the most of the many opportunities the school provides.
Class sizes are kept as small as possible so that we cater more effectively for every student's needs. We believe firmly in the importance of homework and independent study as important tools to help our students become successful, self-motivated learners.
Resources for learning
The range and quality of our facilities ensure that teaching and learning is varied, interesting and successful. ICT facilities throughout the school have been increased and upgraded significantly during recent years.
All classrooms are equipped with the latest interactive audio visual technology and we have an excellent computer to student ratio which is well above the national average. Increasingly our students are learning in high quality, well-equipped subject environments.
