“Attainment at GCSE is above the national average for maintained schools. In 2012,

37% of the grades awarded were at A or A*. This level of attainment indicates that

pupils make good progress from their starting points, at whichever stage they join

the school. Nationally standardised progress data indicates that pupils make good

and sometimes excellent progress through the school.” Inspection Report, November 2012

The Curriculum

The curriculum offers a balanced and broad education, providing the essential background for GCSE courses studied in later years. All the core and foundation subjects are delivered through the National Curriculum.

The Foundation Certificate of Secondary Education is available to all pupils in Year 9 for Spanish and French. During Year 9 pupils also make their GCSE choices, preparing for up to 12 GCSE courses. Core subjects are compulsory and breadth of study is ensured by careful selection of the option subjects, which are studied in Years 10 and 11. In addition all pupils take qualifications in Personal Finance and have the opportunity to study GCSE Food Technology from September 2013, as an after school club. Photography has recently been introduced in Years 10 and 11. Ability specific setting in Year 10 and 11 ensures all pupils can progress at their own pace.

From September 2014 International GCSEs will be introduced. Click here for more information.
