Physical Education and Games are also an important part of the curriculum. Practical and associated subjects encourage problem solving and provide a wonderful opportunity for those pupils who find academic work difficult. We have an exeptional Music Department, where pupils can learn instuments from violin to bass guitar, As pupils progress through the school, they have the opportunity to enter a wide range of GCSE subjects. These include English Language, English Literature, Mathematics, Science, Drama and Theatre Arts, Music, Art and Design, Design and Realisation, Motoer Vehicle Studies, Food Technology, Information Technology and Photography. There is one full report every year, in which a description of the courses accompanies a full assessment of each pupil anf their level of progress.
GCSE pupils receive a regular subject grading report.
Weactively encourage parents to contribute to their child's education and welfare. There are Parent's Days during the year where it is possible to see pupil's work and talk to the staff which we believe greatly adds to a child's development. We operate an open door policy and parents are welcome at any time by prior arrangement. Programmes are devised to give school leavers the knowledge and resources for dealing with choices concerning them for life in the adult world.
