Overview
Overview
The school also has plans to sell its playing fields to buy the former Budock Hospital site and turn it into a sports centre for use by the school and local community. School offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils, while students in the sixth form have the option to study from a range of A-levels, OCR Nationals, NVQs and further BTECs. In 2019, the school received a rating of "Inadequate" in an Ofsted inspection amid off-rolling concerns. A subsequent inspection in 2023 changed the rating to "Requires Improvement", following this from an inspection in May 2025 the school achieved the ranking "good" in all areas.
