Our prospectus
A digital copy is below and printed copies are distributed via local primary schools or on request. The prospectus will tell you about our vision & ethos, our teaching & learning, our community involvement and the many opportunities for students.
Outstanding personal development
See why we were judged by Ofsted to be 'Outstanding' for personal development...this is just a glimpse of the learning and opportunities offered outside of the classroom!
Our website
The "frequently asked questions (FAQs)" page is a great starting point and may answer many of the questions you have, and from here you will be directed to other pages you may find helpful.
Open Evening and Tours
No amount of written information will compare to coming to visit us! Each year we have an open evening at the end of September for those in Year 5 and 6 at primary school, and we will also be delighted to give prospective pupils and parents a personal tour during the school day.
