Houses

The school is divided into year groups for tutor time, with school house and school year affecting a student's placing.

There are four school houses, Centaur, Dragon, Phoenix and Griffin, each being composed of students from all year groups.[2] Before 2013 Centaur, Dragon, Phoenix and Griffin houses were known as Aylword, Newton, Keller and Brunel respectively.

Uniform

The school uniform is a white shirt, black trousers or school skirt, red Clip on tie with house colours and black shoes. The full uniform policy is on the school website.[3]

In 2015-16 81% of students achieved five A*-C grades including English and maths - a further 2% rise on the previous year's results.
