At our school, we value all our staff and every one of our 1628 students and see the investment in our staff as crucial as we look to build on previous successes for our students and across the school. We have an exemplary induction programme which provides an excellent foundation for career progression. We are part of Stowe Valley MAT, which is led by Southam College.
