We have a broad, balanced curriculum, suitable for all students.  As well as the core subjects we offer a wide range of subjects in languages, humanities, design and technology and the arts. We include as many of these elements as possible in each individual student’s programme.

We value our students ability to make the right choices for their own future and progression beyond school. Students will have three choices from a wide and varied list of around twenty subjects.

We encourage all students to study at least one language up to the age of 16.  Spanish, French, German, Urdu and Arabic are all available at GCSE. All students are advised to choose a humanities subject from either History or Geography. We believe these areas of study are essential to provide an overall balanced education up to the age of 16. 

To ensure a broad curriculum we require two choices to be from particular combinations of subjects, these are:

• One humanity and one language
• One humanity and one creative
• One language and one creative

The third option can be any subject.

Humanity subjects are History and Geography. Creative subjects are Fine Art, Graphics, Photography, 3D Design, Food and Nutrition, Drama and Music. Available languages are Arabic, French, German, Spanish and Urdu.

Work experience is usually undertaken by all Year 10 students. This involves a placement with an employer lasting 10 school days.

In addition, we are keen to encourage all our students to be involved in extra-curricular activities including sport, outdoor education, music, drama, charity fund-raising and foreign exchanges.
