The curriculum is flexible and personalised; we offer a variety of Level 3 courses organised into three distinct pathways – an academic pathway consisting of four A Levels, a blended pathway consisting of a combination of A Levels and BTEC qualifications, and a vocational pathway consisting of a combination of BTECs.Students study a set of courses that build a strong foundation for their chosen career pathway in subjects that they enjoy.Our enrichment package guarantees that students develop a bank of skills to prepare them for higher education or the world of work. From the Extended Project Qualification and Young Enterprise Programme to Debating and the Mentoring scheme, there is something for everyone.Our state-of-the-art building provides specialst resources in film, media, sport and performing arts. The new £6 million extension provides expert facilities in science, humanities and social sciences.I invite you to look through our prospectus and arrange a visit to look around the Academy.
