The school has good GCSE and A Level results and achieved an above average Progress 8 score of +0.36 in 2023 for the whole school and +0.54 for English. It was judged to be a Good school in all categories by Ofsted in October 2018.

We work together within the Trust to share best practice, deliver joint training, promote the highest of expectations and raise achievement for all students. The Trust's motto is 'Educational Excellence for All.' The Trust offers significant opportunities for career development of staff at all levels of the organisation.
