The NACE Challenge Award

"The school’s vision – Aspire and Achieve – is at the heart of everything we do. It is regularly referenced by teachers and pupils, shaping lessons, inspiring ambition, and underpinning the curriculum and wider opportunities across the school." - NACE, 2022

The NACE Challenge Award recognises schools that provide high-quality teaching and learning for more able learners, within a culture of challenge for all. It celebrates a school-wide commitment to ensuring every student is stretched, supported, and inspired to achieve their full potential.

We have proudly held this prestigious award since 2013 and have successfully maintained it through re-accreditation every three years. As we continue our journey of excellence, we are preparing for re-accreditation in the academic year 2025–2026, further embedding our ethos of high-quality learning and challenge for all.
