Areas of Learning

The school is arranged into five Areas of Learning (AoL). Students are assigned to an Area which they will remain in throughout their school career. This allows them to develop a supportive relationship with their peers and teachers in their Area. Students can move to another Area with good reason and family members may be put into the same Area.

The Areas of Learning are led by an Assistant Headteacher, supported by a Pastoral Leader/Manager. The five Areas are:[3]

  1. Communication & Culture (CC) — English, MFL, Film Studies, Media Studies, Drama
  2. Creative & Physical Design (CPD) — Art, Music, PE, Technology
  3. Ethos & Personal Development (EPD) — RE, Citizenship, PHSE, History
  4. Environmental & Scientific Understanding (ESU) — Science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics), Geography
  5. Numeracy & Enterprise (NE) — Maths, ICT, Business, Statistics

Sixth form

A range of options are available in the sixth form, including GCE A Level, Applied A levels and BTEC qualifications.
