Our Curriculum
We believe that our pupils deserve a curriculum that expands their life chances and enables social equality and mobility. Our curriculum is designed to ensure that every pupil is supported to overcome their emotional barriers to learning to enable them to reach their best potential regardless of ability, gender, ethnic origin, special educational need, or social background.
