What a Year!

School is now closed for the summer and will re-open to children on 2nd September 2026. 


What a year we've had! We have just found out we have been awarded our Specialist Inclusion Base which will open in the new term.


On top of this, this year saw our best ever set of results under the current system. 


Congratulations to our:

                  Maths 98% Expected | 66% Greater Depth


                  Grammar 97% Expected | 67% Greater Depth
