About Our Client
Our client's High School is an 11-18 academy, with a newly evolving sixth form which sits as part of collaboration with the two other Education schools in the town. The school's students are drawn not only from Darwen, but also from neighbouring Blackburn, and around 30% of students qualify for free school meals.
The High School opened in redesigned and refurbished buildings in September 2012 and has grown from year groups of 150 to 240. It is widely recognised as a school which has seen rapid improvements in recent years. Student achievement has improved significantly and as a result, the school has been oversubscribed for the past several years.
In addition, following a recent Ofsted inspection, the High School has been given a 'Good' rating in all areas, a great achievement, and one which our client and the whole High School team are very proud of. The school's motto embodies the commitment of the community of staff, students and parents to ensuring the school continues to go from strength to strength.
