The objectives for our curriculum are

To meet the needs of our students and keep as many options open to them as possible.
To secure the best possible academic results for all our students.
To ensure high quality learning over time.

Running through all of our curriculum, including the pastoral curriculum, are strands of Personal, Social, Moral, Spiritual and Cultural education (Personal Development) which cover themes such as:

Making and maintaining positive relationships
Staying safe and healthy (including Relationships and Sex Education, Radicalisation and Cyber-Safety)
Respect of self and others
Equality and inclusion – especially tolerance, respect and understanding of people from protected groups, including those with different faiths and beliefs
British values eg: rights and responsibilities, democracy and the rule of law
