Our curriculum is:

Broad – so that it provides each student with a wide range of experiences, knowledge and skills, fostering educational development and encouraging independent learning.
Balanced – so that each area of the curriculum is allowed sufficient time for in depth learning.
Flexible and differentiated – so that what is taught and how it is taught is matched to the learning needs of each individual; fully developing their abilities and aptitudes.

The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ)

A qualification which is highly valued by students, parents, staff and universities. This is because:

It promotes intellectual curiosity and allows student to undertake an independent piece of research in a topic of their own choice
Students feel an EPQ gives them the opportunity to complete an in-depth piece of work, which can be based on a topic outside of their A-level choices, if they desire
Where a student can show a good EPQ grade, universities will typically make them a lower grade offer for entry on to their chosen degree course
