Pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), benefit from learning the same ambitious curriculum. Pupils enjoy their lessons and work hard.

For example, pupils appreciate the opportunity to attend school on Saturdays for additional events, including revision classes and rehearsals for the school show. Pupils enjoy the wider opportunities on offer to them, such as hill climbing in the local area. They take part in a range of clubs and activities. For example, pupils play in sports teams and get involved in a range of arts and crafts. Pupils and staff also work closely with the local community, including raising money for local charities.

“Disappointed”

unlock
"> All three of my children went to this school. The oldest stayed their until he did his GCSEs and did pretty well, because he is disciplined and knows what he wants from his career. We took the other two out in their 1st and third years because we were not happy about a lot of things. My son who is now nearly eighteen still struggles with his writing and I blame the school. So glad we got the boys out.
