Our intention for education is to have a focus on stability, health and wellbeing, relationships and living in the wider world. The aim of our curriculum is to engage students in education and to enable them to develop the knowledge, skills and attributes that they need to be able to manage their lives, now and in the future.

With Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education at its core, our curriculum encourages our students to explore their strengths and their potential, to set themselves ambitious and achievable targets and to overcome challenges, now and in their future lives.
