Our school is a relatively small 11-16 comprehensive on the outskirts of Stoke-on-Trent, located about half-way between the Potteries and the market town of Leek. Our 700 pupils are representative of the area: some are from rural, farming families and others opt in from the nearby Stoke suburbs. We are a true comprehensive, welcoming pupils from the full ability, social and economic ranges. We are also fully inclusive regarding pupils with physical disabilities, and are very aware that we all benefit from working together. Our shared values are: Curiosity, Determination and Kindness
