In Key Stage 4, we offer both Separate Science and Combined Science (Trilogy) and we follow the AQA syllabus.  In the Sixth Form, students can follow courses in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Applied Science and Animal Management.  All courses are very popular with students and there is a strong record for securing good outcomes for students.  In our most recent Ofsted inspection, in October 2021, we maintained our status as a ‘good’ school.  We offer a friendly, supportive working environment, which values talented, committed staff and offers excellent professional development opportunities.  We are highly committed to managing teacher workload and offer a fortnightly home-based PPA session to all teaching staff.
