This is a larger than average-sized secondary college. The large majority of students are from an Indianheritage background. Most students speak English as an additional language. The proportion of girls in the college is average. Over a third of the students is known to be eligible for the pupil premium (additional funding provided to the college for students known to be eligible for free school meals). This is above the national average. There are very few looked-after children. The proportion of disabled students and those who have special educational needs is above the national average. There are six students in the main college educated off-site. Students attend different venues and organisations, including ‘Educ8’, ‘Future Skills’, ‘Style studio’, and ‘Axlr8’. The college is the lead school for mathematics within the Leicester City Education Improvement Partnership. The college is supporting other schools with geography, design and technology, and physical education, and, until very recently, with use of the pupil premium. The college has three of its staff appointed as Specialist Leaders of Education. The college is a strategic partner of the Leicester Teaching School Alliance. The college meets the government current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for students’ attainment and progress. The Principal was appointed on 26 August 2014 and was previously a Vice-Principal at the college.
