I am ve ry privileged to be the Headteacher of a school which serves the local community so well. This is a very special school for many reasons. Firstly and most importantly we have a fantastic staff that will enable your child to make the very best progress. Whatever the starting point, we as a school make sure each young person is pushed and stretched.
This can be summed up by two words from our mission statement everyone achieves and when you walk around the school you can see everyone learning and nobody being left behind. My history in education is very much about making that progress towards academic excellence and narrowing the gaps. This school tries to do that every single day.
