We have high expectations of all members of our school community; we set high standards for achievement, behaviour and attitudes in a positive, safe and caring environment. All students follow a challenging curriculum in preparation for GCSE’s with opportunities to learn 2 out of 3 different modern foreign languages for students who excel in that area. There is additional support for less able students through a targeted withdrawal programme and extra provision within the classroom. Our technology status lends itself to a rich curriculum where academic attainment is high and students develop a spectrum of skills to equip them for a changing future.
Our students enjoy an extensive array of extra – curricular activities and curriculum enrichment particularly Sports, Music and Languages. Many students undertake the residential trips we offer both within the UK and abroad, they also use opportunities to develop their leadership through our Sports Leadership award and Peer Mentoring scheme.
