We believe that learning should be both enjoyable and enriching. We are innovators with a knowledge-rich curriculum, designed to personalise learning for every student, helping them to reach their potential.

We have won numerous awards as a school and being an IQM Centre of Excellence highlights that inclusion at all levels is of paramount importance to us. We are also proud to have been awarded Silver Status by the Carnegie Centre of Excellence for Mental Health Award.

Our first OFSTED judgement was Requires Improvement, with good for Leadership and Management and Curriculum and we strive on our journey towards becoming Outstanding. Help to take us to the next level.
