Curriculum
The school was made a specialist Science College in 2004, due to new laboratories and facilities within the science department. However, its pupils followed the National Curriculum in Years 9, 10 and 11. The school was the only 13-18 comprehensive school in the Local Authority, with pupils taking the Year 9 National Curriculum Tests just 8 months after joining the school from one of the local intermediate schools.
A level and BTEC courses were offered in a variety of fields.

Famous quotes containing the word curriculum:
“If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
