We are proud to describe ourselves as an ambitious yet traditional comprehensive school. Traditional values and conduct are very important to both our school ethos and our everyday values. We believe that innovative teaching and learning within a traditional framework works the best for our students. While academic achievement is a top priority for us, we also do our utmost to provide our students with an outstanding range of learning opportunities. Many of these take place inside the classroom, however, in order to maximise student learning and personal development, we offer lots of opportunities to explore the wider world.
