SEND & Inclusion Information
Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) means that a child is facing specific challenges with areas of school life at the moment. It may be that the child is finding learning difficult and needs to work at a different pace. It may be that the child has an emotional or social issue, a behavioural issue or a physical disability. Sometimes these difficulties only last for a short time and some continue through a child's school life.

Things to note

Enrichment Opportunities
Consequently, it is very important that whilst our students study with us they are also given the opportunity to gain both extra-curricular and super-curricular experiences to enhance their applications and their future CV’s. With this in mind our Year 12 students are expected to do at least 1 hour of volunteering per week. This could be in classrooms, supporting students lower down the school with reading or learning, in departments supporting teachers with displays and organising after school clubs or out of school in sports teams or community/scout groups. To complement the A-Level programme they also offer extra qualifications which are accepted and valued by universities and employers. The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) is a single piece of work requiring planning, preparation, research and independent study. It is highly recommended and is excellent preparation for University entry.
