The school is an average-sized secondary school. The current Principal took up post in September 2012. Students come from a wide geographical area in central Warwickshire, including Leamington, Nuneaton, Rugby, Stratford upon Avon and Warwick. In September 2012, Year 7 students were admitted from 32 different primary schools. The proportion of students for whom the school receives the pupil premium (additional funding for those, in this school, who are known to be eligible for free school meals and the very few looked after by the local authority), is below average. The proportion of students receiving extra support through school action is above average. The proportion supported at school action plus or through a statement of special educational needs is below average. The school meets the current government floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for the attainment and progress of students in English and mathematics by the end of Year 11. A very small number of students are taught in alternative provision away from the school site at Hybrid Arts, The Shaftesbury Centre and 90-ONE.
