This state-of-the-art 900-pupil school provides a 21st Century learning environment.

The new school was built within the perimeter of the previous school, which was then demolished. For this reason, we took a phased approach to construction in order to ensure minimum disruption to the pupils and the curriculum as well as the local community.

Situated on a clifftop, the school’s innovative design takes advantage of natural light. Facilities include music rooms, recording studio, two football pitches, four tennis courts, a four-court sports hall, library terrace with magnificent sea views, and a wildlife habitat area.

"[Your Project Manager] is a very professional, knowledgeable, polite, friendly and reliable person; he is very well respected by all of the school staff. He will go to great lengths to ensure that any works are done quickly and efficiently and has accommodated us by arranging for works to be done at weekends in order for the School to continue to operate as normal through the week."
Paula Williams, Headteacher
