of the school, saying daily prayers, taking part
in worship, attending special services at St
Thomas’ Church and other liturgical/spiritual
events.
There is an obvious nurturing ethos within
school. Both staff and students show mutual
admiration and respect for each other and this
results in a very positive atmosphere around
the whole school. Visitors frequently share that
the school is calm, orderly and welcoming.
There is a relentless focus to improve the
experience learners have of all subjects due to
the drive by leaders and staff to deliver the
very best they can for their students, which
includes our very own demanding “King’s
Standards” for classroom practitioners.
Extra-curricular opportunities exist for all
students, with an extensive timetable available
at lunchtime, after school and at weekends.
The school is proud to hold the Silver School
Games Award, the Silver Music Award and is a
recognised centre for the Duke of Edinburgh
Award.
Students are taught by teachers who are
experts in their field; we are proud to count two
National Teaching Leaders, three Specialist
Leaders in Education and several GCSE
examiners amongst the teaching body.

balanced curriculum, which will
enhance their prospects for success
and provide them with opportunities to
progress to the next stage of their
learning. Our curriculum prepares
students for lifelong learning and for
the opportunities, responsibilities and
challenges of life in the 21st century.
Each one of our students is expected
to do their best and all achievements
are recognised in a positive way
through the extensive arrangements
for monitoring individual progress.
Teachers respond flexibly to the needs
of the students because of their
capacity to assess how well
the
students understand the lesson, using a
blend of innovative and traditional
teaching methods.
Students follow a three year Key Stage
3 whereby they experience a very
broad range of subjects.
Students
then have two years to complete a
wide range of GCSE (or equivalent)
courses. We are proud to share that
the class of 2017 achieved some of
best results in Staffordshire!
Each child is assessed in all subjects
every half-term. This ensures that they
develop excellent revision techniques.
It
also allows us to recognise
achievements and provide support
where necessary.
Success for all students
