The school does not have a parent company, does not publish financial figures, and is not publicly traded. Its strategic positioning emphasises a balance between academic excellence and student wellbeing, supported by an extensive network of partnerships with BAE Systems, South Central Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust, the Holocaust Educational Trust, MyBnk, HSDC Alton College, Queen Mary's College, and over 170 local employers providing work experience placements.
