The Pursuit of Excellence

1200 students in the school

Every child is known, valued and supported

“Every teacher is responsible for the achievement and well-being of each student in a mixed-age

tutor group. Each student has regular one-to-one meetings with their tutor to discuss their academic

and personal development targets and progress towards them. As a result, the school's care,

guidance and support have improved from good to outstanding.”
