We are a very caring school and pride ourselves on having a strong and highly competent pastoral team. Each year group is led by a teacher in the post of Year Director, supported by a non-teaching Pastoral Assistant who are always on hand to support the students in our care.We are very proud of our school – and of the students, parents and staff who make it so successful.Tim PeacockHeadteacher
