Offering A Level and vocational programmes from Level 1 to 3, we offer a genuinely inclusive curriculum, supporting students to realise their aspirations and achieve remarkable outcomes. We are especially proud of our diverse and inclusive learning environment, one which promotes challenge, independence and individuality.
Our expectations reflect our commitment to seeing our diverse cohort of learners flourish as hardworking, respectful and successful young people. The Academy has invested significantly in facilities to support student independence and ownership of learning. Students are challenged and supported to develop the skills they need to thrive in the future, which is reflected in the wide ranging destinations taken by our students at the end of study.
Our status as a Google Sixth Form allows us to work collaboratively with colleagues and students alike and we remain at the forefront of online learning technologies. Professional Development is valued and we actively encourage staff to participate and lead events to support colleagues both within the Sixth Form and the wider Trust. As a member of Brigantia Learning Trust we welcome opportunities for cross-phase collaboration to support student transition and the provision of an outstanding 2-19 learning experience.
We believe in what we do – because the way we teach our students should be as unique as they are. We know this vision requires something extra. If you share our values we would love to hear from you.
