Fully coeducational, with about 1,000 pupils, aged from 3 to 18, it is a school with history and tradition, but which embraces innovation, contemporary values and the latest in digital learning.

We are proud of our local, national and international reputation and we constantly strive to improve the opportunities for our pupils and staff.
