The school takes full advantage of a host of world class educational and cultural opportunities. We are recognised as providing outstanding enrichment involving a wide range of activities and including every member of staff and all students. There are field study courses, school journeys at home and abroad, theatre and gallery visits. Music flourishes and there are opportunities for participation in, for example, Mandarin, drama, basketball, rowing, zumba and the work of the chaplaincy as well as homework clubs in every subject area.

There are 769 students including 148 in our sixth form. Student data shows that 48% of year 7 – 11 students qualify for pupil premium. Over 50 different home languages are spoken and 16% are on the SEN register. Most teaching is done in mixed ability groups, although there is some setting in English, Maths, Science and MFL.

A broad range of subjects are offered in the sixth form to enable students to follow their own personalised timetable.
