Since 2009 the secondary education provider has been eligible for the Howard of Effingham Trust Fund and related donations, Charities Commission registered, funds which are raised by parents across the region and fundraising. Funds are enhanced by successful registration or selection for pupil premiums and grants restricted to central and local government-funded schools. Free school meals eligibility: 22.4% (band: mid).

Ofsted
The Ofsted inspection of December 2013 gave the school an overall Grade 2, Good, on the four-point scale (Outstanding/Good/Satisfactory/Inadequate). Omitting praised examples, the headline assessment of teaching was:
"Most teaching is good or better. Where this is the case, lessons are thoughtfully planned with lesson organisation that supports students’ learning very effectively. Teachers begin lessons with imaginative activities which fire the enthusiasm of students.
In the best lessons, teachers create opportunities for students to work creatively and solve problems together...Such exciting ways of learning are not yet common enough across the college.
Students very quickly develop good skills in reading and writing because teachers focus on this in all subjects. This helps them to do better in all subjects as they move up through the college.
Inspectors saw examples of some well-directed questioning which makes students think more deeply about ideas and helps them progress more quickly. In mathematics, teachers are precise in their questioning and feedback which ensures that students understand exactly how to improve.
