"You can be who you want to be here." (Ofsted 2023)

Our site and buildings provide an inspiring backdrop for growth and discovery. With excellent resources at your fingertips, you'll thrive as an educator. We boast a robust arts education program, including a prestigious Platinum Artsmark Award - an achievement held by less than 1% of schools in England.
