Our modern, forward-thinking curriculum designed to enable all students to make progress and achieve. An adaptable offering to cater for individual needs, demanding enough to enable students to draw out their maximum potential. We offer Functional Skills qualifications, an alternative to mainstream GCSE’s in English, Maths, Science and IT, we establish individual levels and ensure that not only are students working towards the level right for them, but they also have the correct support to fulfil their potential.

We offer practical learning in Construction, Public Services and Mechanics, which not only provides a strong foundation for students pursuing careers in these areas but also equips them with essential life skills to help maintain their future homes and cars. Alongside this, our flexible approach to timetabling ensures that every student can explore a wide range of option blocks—from Media, Business and Sports Leadership with our fantastic partner agencies to Hair and Beauty, Furniture Upcycling and Performing Arts—giving them enriching experiences that maximise motivation and broaden their insight into potential post-16 pathways.
