The upstairs Sixth Form work area of the LRC (Learning Resources Centre) has been refurbished over the summer holidays. The 44 computers and desks were replaced and a further 12 workspaces were created for students to use their own devices.

It is a popular area for students to study in and they have the benefit of access to a high quality photocopier/printer as well as online access for many subscription sites to help them with their research.

Welcome
Nicki Edwards, Headteacher
We are very proud of our school which attracts students from around North and West Dorset as well as South Somerset. The School became an academy on 1 August 2012. We are a Church of England School, but as the secondary school for all children, our religious character is highly inclusive, embracing those of all faiths and of no faith.
