We offer a broad and balanced curriculum in both KS3 and 4, placing significant importance on cultural capital alongside academic achievement. “The curriculum is well designed and well considered. The intention of the curriculum is to transform the life chances of pupils in the school. The ambition, breadth and content of the curriculum contribute to this intention. Curriculum development is purposeful and ongoing” – Ofsted We are a “Microsoft Showcase School” due to our approach to digital learning.
