We are delighted to announce that we have won The Sunday Times Parent Power Guide award for the best State Secondary School of the Year in the Southeast 2026.

We have also been ranked 13th nationally in a field of 400 of the best state secondary and grammar schools in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
This accolade reflects our outstanding A-level results this summer, with 26% awarded at grade A*, 64% at an A* or A and 89% of all grades awarded at A* to B. It's a testament to the dedication and expertise of our highly-experienced staff, who teach and support our outstanding students.
