Our Community

- Providing use of our facilities to local schools.
- Literacy and Numeracy support for KS2, where our Year 10 students visit and work with small groups primary students to develop their literacy and numeracy skills.

- Year 5 Aspirations and Ambitions project, where we invite children from local primary schools to take part in a ‘Dragon’s Den’-style day, working alongside our Year 9 students.
