Welcome Back! We hope you all had a good summer and are ready to start the new term. We have several new members of the English department this year, you can see their names in the Links section of this page. We welcome them to the school and look forward to working with them in the future.
We would like to congratulate all those pupils past and present who achieved great success in their Summer exams. The school's results for SATs, GCSE and A and AS Levels were all a record high this year. No doubt thanks to the hard work and effort shown by staff and students last year.
Let's hope that this academic year will be just as successful, if not better!
