Excellent GCSE results
5 x A*-C with English and Maths: 58.2%
5 x A*-C: 68.8%
58% A*-C with English and Maths is the best result the school has ever seen. There has been a 5% rise over our 2009 results, and we have exceeded our target for this year. My ‘thanks’ go to our students, teachers, support colleagues for all their hard work; our parents, governors, Children’s Services for their continued support, and especially to Miss Sully for her outstanding leadership in her first year as Head of Year!

Students in Science Success

The school recently took two teams to the regional final of the OPITO Engineering Earth’s Future Challenge at the Open Centre in Norwich and finished second, which means that our students have won a “frankly-terrifying-sounding-opportunity” to visit Petans Professional Safety Training Centre to undertake real offshore survival training (including fire-fighting!)
Mobile Phone Rules
We feel strongly that within a learning environment mobile phones are a considerable challenge. As a result of this last year the school instituted the following measures to maintain a peaceful and considered learning environment.
- Mobiles phones are only allowed within the school site if a student has returned a permission slip acknowledging the risk of theft and loss;
- Mobile phones must be switched off at all times whilst on the school site (including school fields etc);
Attendance Matters
We expect our students to maintain attendance at 94% or better throughout the year.
- 95% attendance = 10 school days missed over the school year;
- 90% attendance= 20 school days missed over the whole school year;
- 85% attendance = 25 school days missed over the year.
80% attendance over 5 years = ONE WHOLE SCHOOL YEAR MISSED!
Attendance matters.
School Uniform Requirements
I hope it has become obvious to you that our students should adopt a smart dress code that reflects the aspirations of the school and the local community. We wish the dress code to be a smart practical outfit that resists the vagaries of fashion and ensures a degree of consistency and equality for the students. We wish for our students to be proud of their school in their local community, especially to and from school. Please find below a link to the requirements that are compulsory for all students in Years 7 – 11.




SAM Learning is now available in school. The service, which is accessible to all staff and students, covers a wide range of subjects across the curriculum and can be used both in school and at home.
