• We have a thriving and growing Sixth Form.
• A Level results and progress scores place us first in West Sussex.
• We are rated as ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted in all categories.
• We are a strategic lead in the Xavier Teaching School Hub and help lead the Bosco CET.

It is illegal to apply for a position requiring an enhanced DBS if you are on a barred list which prohibits you from working with children.
