Our mission statement “learning, working, succeeding together” very much sums up our approach. We work hard to create a vibrant and mutually supportive climate for learning in which everyone can thrive.
With approximately 1000 students, we are a mid-size high school. This makes it possible for us to get to know each student as an individual. Our innovative, vertical, mixed age tutor groups (House Groups) help us to create a real sense of community and encourage students to take responsibility for the welfare of others.
This sense of community has an international dimension. In 2004, we raised the money to build a school in Thmar Bang in Cambodia. We funded an extension to the school in 2010. Our ongoing links do much to promote the idea of global citizenship.
Despite a blip in 2011, over the last few years, our external exam results have shown significant improvement. We believe in an academic curriculum based around core subjects. We also believe in traditional standards of discipline. Our well embedded ‘Behaviour for Learning’ policy ensures students’ behavior supports their learning.
We are a PFI school and are fortunate to be housed in a state of the art, purpose built building constructed in 2002 which provides a first rate learning environment.
We also offer post 16 education. Our sixth form is an integral part of the Stafford Collegiate which involves all Stafford High Schools and Stafford College. This means we can offer a broad and balanced curriculum choice and a route to University entrance.
