There will be a Pride Month Giveaway during lunch time next Wednesday 24th June 2026! We are looking forward to bringing students and staff together to celebrate Pride Month.

Today we are proudly celebrating Thank a Teacher Day! ✨🍎

A huge thank you to all of our incredible teachers for their dedication, hard work, and unwavering support. Every day, they inspire, encourage, and help our students achieve their very best.

Today marks the end of an incredible journey for our Year 11 students. After months of hard work, determination, and resilience, they are completing their final GCSE exams and are celebrating in true Year 11 style by signing each other’s shirts and making memories that will last a lifetime.
We are so proud of everything they have achieved and wish them the very best for the exciting opportunities ahead. Enjoy a well-earned summer—you’ve earned it! 🌟
