Programmes of study across all the key stages seek to challenge and stimulate all students and the department has a consistent record of excellent results with 85.9% of pupils gaining 9-7 in GCSE History for 23-24. History is also a popular subject at A Level and students continue to excel, with our most recent externally graded results in 23-24 being 100% achieving A

The school also runs a number of national and international trips, and we even have our own residential centre in a beautiful part of North Wales which staff also use.
