I’m pleased to say that this passion from staff and students alike is translating into exam results which are well above national average. We are building a community where success becomes inevitable. However, we know that a secondary education isn’t just about academic results, which is why we invest so much in ensuring that every student’s needs are met and that they leave us more than prepared for the challenges which life may throw at them. Central to our ethos is the feeling of belonging at the school. Due to our eye-catching uniform, I christened our students the #YellowArmy, which is something that Ofsted were struck by, commenting that “Pupils enjoy school and are proud to wear the uniform and be part of what they call the ‘#YellowArmy’. They recognise and welcome the recent improvements to the school, commenting very favourably to inspectors about the changes they see. Parents also talked about these improvements and many commented on the positive impact they have had on their children.”
