Results

The school claims good academic results:

  • GCSEs
  • A levels
  • However the most recent Ofsted report found that "Disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs and those supported through additional funding do not make as much progress as others", the report also commented that "There is not enough outstanding teaching. Teachers sometimes give work that is too easy or too hard and marking does not always help pupils to improve their work"

    History

    The school was built and named in 1957 to commemorate Ralph Allen (1693-1764). It opened in 1958.

    Awards

    In 2004, the school gained specialist Science College status, and has also been recognised by Artsmark Silver, Investors in People, Investors in Student Careers, Schools for Health, Partnership Promotion School and Sportsmark Gold awards.

    Partnerships

    The school is part of the Bath Education Trust, working closely with other local schools, colleges, universities and businesses. It also works closely with the James Dyson Foundation, and is part of the Active Transport to Schools project.
