Our seven form entry school currently caters for 1950 children from FS1 to Y13. We opened a state of the art Primary block for Y3 to Y6 in September 2020. We continue to grow at a rate of around 200 students per year and expect to reach capacity of 2400 in 2 years time.

In addition we offer a range of GCSE, iGCSE, iAS and iA Levels from Cambridge, Edexcel and Pearson exam boards to our older students. We have begun to introduce a range of BTEC qualifications to better personalise pathways in KS4 and 5.
