As headteacher, I know this is a school unlike any other. Our reputation for excellence is founded not just on our students’ excellent academic results, but on our sense of community, our incredible extra-curricular offer and our focus on all aspects of students’ development. We challenge all our students to excel. From the way they wear their uniform to the way they approach their studies, we want them to look back on their years at the school with a sense of pride – both in their achievements and in the challenges they have overcome. Our outstanding facilities means students can find their passions, whether they be in the classroom, on the sports field, in the music room or on the stage. On this website, you can learn about the extra-curricular opportunities, visits, international links, charity and community work, environmental projects, visiting speakers, performances, exhibitions and sports. In other words, all the things that make us distinctive. Thank you very much for your interest.
