For Years 7 to 9 students receive a compulsory core curriculum. At the end of Key Stage 3, the school takes the Year 9 students through an options process of careers advice and guidance to help them each create their personal curriculum for KS4.
In Years 10 and 11 students follow a 50% Core and 50% Options timetable where the latter is a free choice of up to five subjects for each student.
In the Sixth Form students have their own personalised curriculum consisting of courses taken at various levels (AS, A2, BTEC and Diploma).
