A lively and purposeful co-educational, comprehensive state boarding school for children aged 7 to 18 years, with 600 flexi-boarders and 500 full boarders. The school has been highly sought after for many years, with very high levels of interest again for September 2022. This is due to a wide range of factors including its facilities, academic results, standards of teaching, pastoral care, the boarding and flexi-boarding environment, wide range of trips and co-curricular activities and the resultant attitudes of its pupils.
