Did you know?

We have introduced the Arc and Connect provision to support students whose behaviour is challenging and could put them at risk of exclusion from mainstream education. To date, all students who have accessed the Arc provision have remained in mainstream education.

Our careers provision exceeds the eight Gatsby standards and we have been accredited with the Quality Standards in Education. We have also introduced mentoring for students who are struggling in their journey towards their next steps.
