The school has in place successful strategies to meet the requirements of pupils with additional support needs, including our gifted and talented students. The school’s success is not taken for granted and so it has a strong focus on the improvement agenda.

The school has a strong sense of community and has worked hard to achieve very productive links with its cluster primary schools, Further Education Colleges, local businesses and a variety of other community partners. This is reflected in the programme of opportunities for personal development the school offers its pupils, and for which it receives well deserved acclaim.
