Over the past two years the English department has undergone a period of rapid improvement in which all department policies have been reviewed and modernised.

We have a joint Sixth Form with our partner school, the Sir John Colfox Academy in Bridport, offering a broad and developing range of courses including English Language and Literature. Sixth Form numbers are buoyant and our results are some of the best in Dorset.
