"The work that the school does to prepare its pupils for post-16 progression is exemplary. Effective careers education, information, advice and guidance are a very high priority." OFSTED 2016

" Year 11 destination information indicates that pupils are being very effectively prepared to progress to further education, training or to enter full-time employment. The high-quality careers education, information, advice and guidance that pupils receive contribute to a 100% progression rate. The number of pupils progressing to apprenticeships is twice the national average."
