The School is currently working towards re-accreditation with The University of Exeter for 2027. Students perform very highly in both Year 11 at GCSE and in Year 13 at Advanced Level or BTEC. Students are prepared very well for their next stage of education and in 2025 and 2026 45% of our Year 13 students, who progressed to university, went to a Russell Group establishment.
