In everything we do, we aim to provide an environment in which students experience a high quality, broad and balanced education. Students are inspired to achieve their best when they feel supported and challenged; in this, the ‘home-school-community’ partnership is crucial. It provides an important framework within which there are clear expectations for all those involved.
We strive to provide a curriculum appropriate to the needs of all our students and one which will develop them as self-motivated, independent learners, able to meet the challenges and enjoy the rewards of the modern world. We know that students flourish as young people when they feel confident and valued in themselves, and they understand the demands made of them at school and in the wider community. Therefore, preparing our students to take their place in society as responsible, compassionate and informed citizens is a vital part of our learning agenda.
There are approximately 1400 pupils on roll, which typically includes over 260 Sixth Form students. Our school staff consists of around 85 teaching staff and 70 support and ancillary staff. The majority of students join us from the local primary schools; however, we also welcome students from many other areas. A sense of community is fostered throughout the school, offering students a range of experiences, both school based and in the wider community.
Our designation as a Music and Science academy reflects the excellence and achievement in these subject areas, from examination results to recognition at a regional and national level.
