As well as curriculum responsibilities teachers carry pastoral responsibility which are as important as their teaching commitment. The prime responsibility for day to day pastoral care lies with the Form Tutor who will be a member of a team led by a Year Leader. The tutor team usually moves up with the students from Year 8 to Year 11 to ensure continuity of care and progress monitoring.

All staff are expected to contribute to maintaining the school as a well ordered learning community by building positive relationships and following established routines.

The school makes high demands of the students in terms of behaviour and appearance and has high expectations for performance in the classroom. They expect 100% to achieve 5 or more A*-G GCSE grades and this target is achieved most years. The number achieving five or more higher A*-C grades would normally be over 70% and last year was 75%. 

A wide range of extra-curricular activities are offered to students. The school has particular strengths in performing arts. Field courses, retreats and exchange visits to France and Germany all enrich the curriculum. New staff who wish to try their hand at sailing in the beautiful Poole harbour are also welcome to join the sailing club!

Daily morning briefing, which all teaching staff and representative support staff attend, is a key feature of the school's communication system.
