Specialist College
The specialist school programme helps schools, in partnership with private sector sponsors, and supported by additional government funding, to establish distinctive identities through their chosen specialisations and achieve their targets to raise standards.
Specialist schools have a focus on those subjects relating to their chosen specialisations but must also meet the national curriculum requirements and deliver a broad and balanced education to all students.
Hartford High School is one of the minorities of schools that have been awarded dual specialisms: Languages and Sports.

Famous quotes containing the words specialist and/or college:
“For what Harley Street specialist has time to understand the body, let alone the mind or both in combination, when he is a slave to thirteen thousand a year?”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“I never went near the Wellesley College chapel in my four years there, but I am still amazed at the amount of Christian charity that school stuck us all with, a kind of glazed politeness in the face of boredom and stupidity. Tolerance, in the worst sense of the word.... How marvelous it would have been to go to a women’s college that encouraged impoliteness, that rewarded aggression, that encouraged argument.”
—Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
