Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs for Pokemon, Star Wars, Puzzles and Games, Coding, and Girls Get Fit. Sports include athletics, multi-sports, football, basketball, cricket, and dance, alongside art and crafts. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 467 pupils in a building with 319 places, meaning it is over capacity by 148. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the significant over-capacity situation for new admissions? What specific support is offered to pupils who are below the expected standard in literacy? How does the after-school club integrate with the main curriculum for those who attend?
