		Hence, the school prides itself on its academic excellence, and it is known for being one of the best schools in the area, a view upheld by consistently good league table rankings, although one has to be more and more skeptical with the reliability and bias of these.
		Recently the school hosted an evening with the Poet Laureate Andrew Motion and sculptress Jilly Sutton in which she talked on the sculpture that she recently created of the poet and a bronze cast of which now resides in the school library.
