Recognising that every young person is unique, we are committed to building strong relationships and fostering an inclusive environment that values individuality, celebrates all achievements, and empowers our students to thrive academically, socially, and personally.

We have approximately 1500 students in Years 7 to 13 and offer a wide range of A levels in our large and successful Sixth Form. We are proud of the academic excellence achieved by our students and of their involvement in wider school life. We hope that as a prospective member of staff you will share our mission to “inspire and empower all within our learning community to fulfil their individual potential and ambitions so that all are able to be active and successful citizens in our global society”.
