All students follow an ambitious and accelerated Key Stage 3 programme in English, mathematics, science and technology, enabling them to begin GCSE courses at the start of Year 9. Teaching and learning are supported by a strong middle-leadership structure, with deputy heads of faculty and regular, purposeful professional development focused on improving classroom practice and securing consistently high outcomes for all learners.
