Excellent relationships between students and staff and a purposeful learning environment is evident in lessons and around the modernised site. With this foundation, students have a strong platform to be confident, happy and are able to achieve their aspiration.

This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone considering a career in teaching, and we encourage applications from support staff with experience of working in a school environment.
