Student SuccessStudent success happens across a huge canvas of educational activity, as deep as it is diverse. On a narrow academic level, public examination success is impressive, as seen by our year on year overview of GCSE and IB Diploma results and in the positive value-added that our students achieve.

Value-added measures are intended to offer a fairer indication of how far a student has come, a fairer measure of how well the school has brought that student. 0.00 would indicate an average student progress with +0.50 indicating significant progress in relation to average.
