I would like to welcome you to our College website, which will give you a flavour of the exciting opportunities we offer and how we celebrate the rich diversity of our learning community and all our achievements. We are located on a wonderful green site surrounded by acres of playing fields. We judge the learning offered across all of our Departments to be outstanding. We believe our students deserve nothing less than the best. Our parents trust us to deliver a fantastic education.

We are incredibly proud of the achievement of our students which puts us in the top 5% of all schools nationally. Our students again this last academic year smashed every record both at GCSE and A Level. Despite a national drop in 5A* to C with English and Maths we again improved our position from 57% to 62% which puts us above the national average.

We had a good with outstanding features OFSTED report in March 2010 and since that time our results have gone up and up! We are very much securing an outstanding judgement currently and believe that like our students we should aim for the top. To be the best - the best for your child, for all our students and all our community.

Our students benefit from highly qualified, hard-working and simply brilliant staff who recognise the importance of ensuring that learning is active, exciting and builds strong relationships. Challenging lessons are taught across a wide range of academic and vocational courses and there is a strong system of support, which helps students to manage their learning, build confidence and maximise opportunity. Our good solid old fashioned values of equality, courage, inspiration, excellence, friendship and determination sit firmly at the heart of what we do and what our students learn to see as important to them. Behaviour for learning has been recognised as excellent.

Our Sixth Form students were incredibly successful this year. Our Sixth Form is a buzzy and exciting place to be, there is enormous energy for further success this year. The ‘no excuses’ culture will embed and bring its own rewards. We are part of the Hounslow 6th Form Consortium with other Secondary Schools in the area so we offer a really good range of courses and opportunities for our students. Congratulations to our new Head Girl, Chloe Mcann, and our new Head Boy, Cieran Burke.

We have strong links with local primary schools and we find out as much as we can about our new students from primary school teachers, school records, parents and the students themselves. We want to know our students’ strengths and what they want to achieve at secondary school so that our staff are well prepared and the students warmly welcomed. This careful preparatory work invariably results in a smooth and happy transition for our new students.

Teachers track the progress and achievement of individual students so that all staff are kept aware of particular needs that may develop. It is very important to us that our students are secure and happy and that their school life is a memorable experience which will form the basis of a rich and rewarding later life. We have the highest expectations of our students and continually look for opportunities to widen their horizons and encourage their ambition.

Please do come and have a look at what we do! We love to see visitors and show people around our school.
