We offer a rich and diverse curriculum.
Our aim is to provide a broad education covering the full range
of subjects in the lower school, gradually bringing in choice
as students grow older and find areas in which they wish to
specialise.
In Year 7, students
are largely taught in their mixed ability form groups, with
setting from October in Mathematics.
From Year 7 onwards, setting by ability
is introduced in a greater range of subjects. By the end of
Year 9 all students will have completed their first GCSE (OCR
National) in ICT.
At GCSE, traditional academic subjects
sit alongside innovative vocational subjects such as Hospitality
and Catering, Performing Arts, Digital Applications and Travel
& Tourism. Students complete several GCSEs by the end of
Year 10. This approach gives maximum oppotunity for support
and challenge as part of a personalised curriculum. Both pathways
can be mixed and are available to all students.
Our choice of A-Levels in the Sixth Form
is extensive.
