Curriculum Intent:
The Values Curriculum is where students learn valuable knowledge, personal skills & etiquettes that they will need to succeed as a respectful, active citizen in a modern World. Students will develop a sense of personal responsibility and to develop an appreciation of the diverse society in which they live. They will also gain an understanding of the importance of maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle, and staying safe. The Values Curriculum is delivered across school under 5 key themes: Identity, equality and diversity; SRE: Sexual safety and relationships; Future aspirations; Active citizenship; Health and well-being.

KS3
At KS3 students follow a course that consists of a series of modules delivered in two, one hour lessons per fortnight in Year 7, one hour per fortnight for year 8, three hours per fortnight for year 9.

KS4
At KS4 the program is organised differently. Year 10 receive two one hour lessons per fortnight. Year 11 students take part in non-timetabled days, which are primarily workshop based sessions, delivered in conjunction with external organisations to provide students with both specialised information and unique experiences. In addition, Year 11 students take part in a weekly lecture based program that is delivered on a Wednesday morning during registration time with a primary focus on their future aspirations.

Clubs / Extra Curricular Activities, visits and trips
In addition to the comprehensive curriculum offered there are also three Drop Down Days throughout the year which involve the whole school following a collapsed timetable for the day. The aim of such sessions is to provide students with enriching opportunities to work with a range of specialist individuals to allow them to explore a range of issues in more depth:
