Christ is at the heart of our community, where everyone is known and loved.

In fulfilling our mission we are a school of prayer. We live as a community of love, peace and reconciliation, valuing everyone’s dignity as a child of God to promote and celebrate the growth and achievement of the whole person.

At the heart of our curriculum lies a respect for the subjects we teach and insight into the world each provides.  In our Catholic school, the true development of the person, takes precedence over all other things.  Aspiration and ambition for all our learners drive the curriculum, including the highest expectations and ambition for all learners, and all staff work relentlessly to remove barriers to learning and intervene where necessary so that all students can succeed.

Our curriculum is sequenced to enable all students to build their knowledge and skills across the different key stages. Appropriate time is planned to ensure students embed key concepts and deepen their understanding within and across curriculum areas.  Our extensive SMSC and enrichment programme supports the development of the individual enabling all students to develop employability and life skills.

The curriculum covering Year 7 – 9 is centred on the national curriculum and builds on the work of Primary colleagues, providing pupils with a rich and full curriculum that not only prepares them for KS4 but also gives them the skills and knowledge to make the first decisions about their future career pathways.

KS4 is a two year programme that offers an ambitious mix of academic, vocational and technical subjects.  These have been chosen to suit the needs of all learners.  Sufficient time is offered to the core subjects to ensure that students are fully immersed in their important skills. Our ambition is for EBacc to be the foundation of our broad and balanced curriculum.  The mix of subjects is designed to maximise the opportunity for students for employment, training and further education.

At KS5, a wide range of subjects are on offer due to our Trinity partnership with fellow Catholic schools.  We offer a mix of both academic, vocational and technical subjects.  We strive to ensure that we provide each student with a study programme that is appropriate and individualised to best suit their aspirations for future study, training or employment. Students are able to follow courses of study aimed at Higher Education (including Russell Group Universities), apprenticeships and employment.  Sixth Form students also access a wide range of opportunities beyond their academic studies.  The curriculum aims to educate the whole person, developing confident individuals who are able to live safe, healthy and fulfilling lives. The curriculum provides one hour a week of General RE leading to an EPQ and timetabled time for a range of enrichment activities, enabling all students to develop employability and life skills and become responsible citizens and leaders who can make a positive contribution to society.

All students receive a challenging curriculum where every lesson is ‘taught to the top’ and scaffolded to support students to achieve. Our comprehensive Most Able Strategy includes bespoke curriculum and enrichment opportunities such as The Honours Programme, the Scholars Programme, Universify, stretching and challenging them to reach their goals and aspirations. This Most Able Strategy has equality at its heart, positively including disadvantaged learners to remove barriers to learning and to support them to achieve their potential.
