Within Key Stage 5, there are dedicated Heads of Years 12 and 13, and a team of 15 tutors supporting around 250 students.
Our academic team consists of six experienced Heads of Faculty who, in turn, lead the Heads of Departments and enrichment coordinators. With over 20 different subject options available to students throughout the Key Stages, there are many pathways open to students. Our examination results are a testament to the outstanding level of teaching and holistic learning approach that allows each and every child that is part of our community, take the path to their chosen future.
