We are especially proud that pupils of all abilities make excellent progress – our “value added” places us in the top 15% of all schools in the country.In September 2003 we achieved national fame as the first Science and Arts College in the country, reflecting our commitment to make learning as vital and exciting as possible.This is reflected in the sheer range of opportunity that we offer through our imaginative curriculum, extensive option choices and an excellent programme of extra curricular activities. We also benefit from some very special partnerships, such as The Ogden Trust and The Comino Foundation, which help us to provide some exceptional opportunities for our students.
