End of term earlier finish time of 12:20
Just a reminder that on Wednesday 23rd July, students will be finishing school at the earlier time of 12:20pm for the start of the summer holidays.
New academic year - Term 1 starts on Wednesday 3rd September 2025 for Yr7 and Yr11 Students
On the first day back, we invite Year 7 and Year 11 Students into the school first to get settled before the rest of the year groups arrive. Therefore, Year 7 and Yr11 students should arrive between 8:15am and 8:40am through the student gate ready for an 8:45am start.
All other year groups will start back on Thursday 4th September and should arrive between 8:15am and 8:40am through the student gate ready for an 8:45am start.
We request that you ensure your child is in full school uniform and has the correct equipment, ready for the new term. If you are unsure, please check on the Parent Information section of the website.

Our mathematics curriculum encompasses the key mathematical concepts of Number, Algebra, Geometry, Statistics, Proportion and Probability, with a focus on depth of understanding, reasoning and problem solving.
Maths Curriculum Vision:
Maths Curriculum Intent:
Pupils have to option to study GCSE Statistics at Key Stage 4. Statistics is a GCSE subject intended to introduce students to the skills of statistical enquiry, and practise the underpinning statistical calculations and interpretation using real world data and authentic contexts. This approach supports skills development for progression to a range of subjects and develops an awareness of statistics beyond the classroom. Learners choosing this option will study both GCSE Maths and GCSE Statistics, leading to two GCSEs at the end of Year 11.
Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th (3/14) around the world. Pi (Greek letter “π”) is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant — the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter — which is approximately
3.14159. Pi Day is an annual opportunity for math enthusiasts to recite the infinite digits of Pi, talk to their friends about math, and eat pie. Pi has been calculated to over 50 trillion digits beyond its decimal point. As an irrational and transcendental number, it will continue infinitely without repetition or pattern. While only a handful of digits are needed for typical calculations, pi’s infinite nature makes it a fun challenge to memorise, and to computationally calculate more and more digits.
Promoting a love of problem solving! The Junior Mathematical Challenge is a 60-minute, multiple-choice Challenge. It encourages mathematical reasoning, precision of thought, and fluency in using basic mathematical techniques to solve interesting problems. The problems on the Junior Mathematical Challenge are designed to make students think. Most are accessible, yet still challenge those with more experience. You child will be informed by the Maths team regarding the next UKMT challenge dates.
We are very excited to offer Further Maths as an enrichment option. Further mathematics is a level 2 qualification intended to cater for learners who would like to study beyond the higher tier GCSE syllabus in mathematics and who are capable of working above this level. The syllabus is designed to broaden the mathematical experience of high attaining learners, and assess their higher level mathematical skills, particularly in algebraic reasoning, in greater depth, thus preparing them fully to maximise their potential in further studies.
Due to the nature of this enrichment, it is only open to Year 10 students and above. This enrichment will be ongoing, we are happy to absorb the cost of entry into the official qualification, however for the school to do this individual attendance to the sessions must be good"
