  • Access to a ‘Values Led’ Education in and beyond the classroom
  • An individual timetable 
  • A comprehensive Personal Development programme including:
    advice and support with access to Higher Education, Gap Years, Apprenticeships and the world of work
  • information, advice and guidance for staying safe and healthy and developing a strong sense of self worth and well-being
  • a comprehensive assembly and form tutoring programme
  • the opportunity to participate in and lead extra-curricular activities
  • the opportunity to develop leadership skills
  • the opportunity to extend your curriculum with independent study through the Extended Project Qualification
  • the opportunity to support the community with voluntary work
  • the opportunity to participate in work experience (both as part of a weekly timetable and during work experience week in July)
