We provide the Edge.

We are proud to be one of the top schools both in the South West and nationally (Sunday Times, ParentPower). This is not an accolade judged by outcomes alone, it is a measure of holistic quality of education. We are pioneers in education, constantly seeking and providing excellence of opportunity for our young people.

Our mission is simple. To enable our students to be healthy and happy, to have the confidence to be themselves. To develop into dynamic thinkers able to learn, unlearn and re-learn as life requires. To belong within our community and be ready for whatever they want to be in the world.

Alongside subject mastery, our The Edge programme provides opportunities for leadership and service and personal growth. Through these vibrant experiences our young people develop the necessary self-awareness, knowledge, attributes and skills to succeed now and in the future.
