School Description

This is a school where pupils have a keen desire to do well. Pupils are inquisitive learners and thrive on the knowledge they gain from their lessons. They enjoy school and wear their uniform with pride. Staff are committed to ensuring all pupils are successful. Pupils achieve extremely well across a broad range of subjects. Pupils behave exceptionally well. In lessons, they are highly attentive and engage fully with their learning. At social times, pupils play together sensibly on the school’s AstroTurf pitch or enjoy a game of table tennis with their friends. Pupils say that bullying is extremely rare and dealt with quickly by staff. The school’s curriculum is strong. Pupils study a broad range of subjects at key stage 3 and can take many different GCSE subjects at key stage 4. Most pupils opt to stay on in the school’s sixth form and deepen their knowledge of subjects they enjoy. Staff provide a range of opportunities for pupils beyond their academic studies. There are many different extra-curricular activities, such as after-school sports clubs. Pupils are also keen to take up leadership roles, such as a school prefect or house captain. Year 7 pupils enjoy a residential trip to ‘Whitemoor Lakes’ to participate in team building activities.
