We provide a dynamic learning environment that has at its core a culture of high expectations for all students based around the school principles of ‘Kindness, Aspiration, Perseverance’. These high expectations have enabled the school to academically thrive and we are very proud to have a track record of exceptional A level and GCSE results which place the school firmly within the top 20% of schools nationally.

The school provides a wealth of opportunities for students.

Daisy has qualified for the English national swimming competition!

Year 8 student Daisy Kirkpatrick (age 13) has qualified to compete in the English national summer competition. This is Swim England’s biggest domestic swimming competition of the year.

With only 0.5% of all swimmers qualifying for this competition, that is less than 1 in every 200.
Held at Pond Forge international sports centre in Sheffield 29th July - 3 August 2025.
It’s such an incredible achievement. Her hard work and commitment at her age can be commended, all the early morning training sessions before school have paid off. She deserves to be on the qualifying list, and we all wish her luck & best wishes in August.
