We pride ourselves on our ethos and culture which promotes positive relationships and behaviour.

Pupils show dedication to learning and pay close attention to their teacher’s instruction”’.

Science is a leading department within the school and we are proud of our outstanding record of success. We have high expectations of all our students and are committed to the personal and professional development of our staff. Our flagship CPD programme includes courses suitable for professional development at all career stages including preparation for middle and senior leadership.
