We live in an ever-changing educational landscape and, as always, strive to provide a broad and balanced curriculum for all our students. We have carefully constructed our curriculum offer so that it is not only based on students’ ability but is aspirational for all. It is also designed to prepare students for the forms of assessment that will be in place in 2027 and meet the needs and expectations of future employers and further education requirements.

Now more than ever we want to feel confident that all our students will be in a position to play to their strengths and be prepared for success in whatever their chosen path is. This preparation is as much about qualifications as it is about developing skills such as resilience, determination, intuition, independence and creativity as well as effective communication; we know these qualities will serve our students well whatever they do!

Parents/Carers and students are invited to come into school on Wednesday 28^th February between 5 and 7pm for our Options Evening. You will have the opportunity to speak to subject staff about the different courses available and members of the senior leadership team will be available to help support with any questions you may have about the process.  

Prior to attending the Options Evening please watch the presentations below from Mr Fitzgibbon and Mr Stanton.
