Curriculum Overview
We have a broad curriculum offer with 28 A Levels and BTECs to choose from. This ensures that we are able to provide our students with a large breadth of subjects to suit each individual.
The curriculum is designed for students who will thrive in an educational environment where the rigours and demands of the different subjects are embraced and taught in a supportive manner without compromising the academic challenges of Sixth Form study.
As part of our Sixth Form curriculum we offer the Aspire Award and BE: Life Ready Personal Development programme to ensure you have a range of complimentary experiences and opportunities that run alongside your studies.
