Education is about much more than examination results alone. We encourage a love of learning in our pupils, which broadens their horizons and inspires a sense of wonder about the world around them.
In the first three years, our pupils study a rich and exciting curriculum. It is intended to introduce new ideas, stimulate debate and lay the foundations for good work habits. It provides a springboard for choice at GCSE and A level in a range of national and international qualifications.
