Curriculum Structure
The aim of our curriculum is to unlock our students' academic and personal potential: raising aspirations, powering social mobility and enabling all students to go to a university or a career of their choice. Our curriculum model allows us to ensure all of our students have the opportunity to experience a breadth of subjects in depth and detail.
