The school currently has over 900 pupils, from age 3-18, who divide their time between our main city centre campus and our extensive sports facility, Mayfield. Our approach is built on a profound belief that if young people are valued, supported, known, and engaged in their learning, they can achieve amazing things. We have a long track record of outstanding exam results, which we owe to our rigorous approach, expertise built up over many years, and a genuine desire to see our pupils realise their potential.

At Advanced Higher, 23 subjects are available. The timetabling of exciting new interdisciplinary STEM Innovation and Business Enterprise courses, in addition to computer science for all, has embedded Future Skills into our curriculum.

A focus on the essential importance of Pastoral Care and on encouraging all pupils to make the most of the opportunities presented by our vibrant and extensive co-curriculum helps create an environment in which the School’s Core Values are ever-present and where the desire to learn, support one another, and grow is embraced by all.
