Pupils are taught in small groups with a high ratio of staff to pupils and in a supportive environment. 

Along with the Key Stage 3 and 4 curriculums, we offer Engage activities such as Forest School, Swimming, City in the Community and for some pupils, practical off site learning leading to qualifications in a work place environment.
