Curriculum

Each student has an individualised timetable which is agreed with them at the start of each academic year.

At Key stage 4, the students will access the core subjects (English, Maths, Science, ICT), alongside other subject options that are aligned to the government requirements. Students use a credits-based system to select their courses of study at Key Stage 5.
