The school's drive on technology was invaluable during the lockdowns as the school had already established Google classroom. The school has a newly refurbished subject block and subsequently every classroom across the school now has a ViewSonic interactive screen. In addition, we have invested in our all facilities across the school: new heating system reducing our carbon footprint, revamped technology including food room, whole school repainted, new interactive whiteboards, in addition to sporting facilities; upgraded our indoor swimming pool, invested in our sports hall and conditioning centre, all weather pitches: MUGA, an all-weather football dome and our new performance and conditioning centre of excellence. Academically the school has a positive progress measure and the boys achieve above national average. Our curriculum is clearly mapped and was a strong “good” as part of our Ofsted 2021.
