‘The school is ambitious for all pupils, including those with SEND. It has designed a curriculum that sets out high academic expectations’

‘Pupils are respectful and polite. They understand the school’s expectations in terms of conduct and behaviour’
‘Staff know their pupils well, and they build positive relationships with them’
The school is an increasingly popular choice within the local community and we are delighted to advertise this role due to an expansion within the school and a larger intake of students in September 2025.
