This larger-than-average school moved into a new building in September 2006. It serves an inner-city area that contains much overcrowded accommodation. Four out of five pupils come from minority ethnic backgrounds, by far the largest group being of Bangladeshi origin. A very large number of pupils speak English as an additional language. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is very high. The school has won awards for high standards and for the way it teaches basic skills. For ten years it has been part of a successful Education Action Zone (EAZ), which has recently become a charity to sustain it when funding ceases in 2008.
