Break times & lunch times

We encourage our students to make the most of not only the school grounds but the surrounding area. Onsite, students can take a break in the Lodge, the games room or our library – or alternatively head over the Common to enjoy the green space.

Future-focused technology

Laptops

We ask that each student has a laptop specified by us. Whilst the laptops are your property, they are also school devices and so  for safeguarding and security, each one is installed with monitoring software and learning platforms.

Phones

We are a no-phone school. Phones are handed in at the start of the day and collected at the end. We believe this aids concentration and gives our students a much-needed break from social media and screentime.
