We have been fortunate to have the opportunity to form a collaborative partnership with one of the very best schools in the country, Moreton Hall. The opportunity for our students to see an exceptional independent school environment first hand is truly inspirational and raises the aspirations of all of our students who study there. Each year, our collaboration gets stronger and more varied. For example, top set Year 10 science students have one lesson a fortnight in Moreton Hall’s amazing new science block. This has developed their science skills but also made them feel special, independent and valued.

We also have a unique scholarship agreement that enables several of our brightest girls to transfer in Year 11 for their post-16 studies. This has been a life-changing experience for those girls and all of them have gone on to achieve superb A-level grades and secure bright futures.

In 2019 this collaboration is expanding to include a joint CCF (combined Cadet Force) aligned with the medical corp.
