Home learning, Independent Study, Conduct, Community and Aspiration.We encourage you to explore our website for more information and arrange to come and visit us to explore further what we can offer you for the next stage of your education.

After finishing sixth form, I went on to the University of Leeds to study a degree in BSc Geography with Environmental Mathematics. During my three years there, I studied a range of physical geography modules encompassing ecology, weather and climate, glaciology and hydrology, as well as some mathematical modules that gave me skills to model the environment. In my final year I specialised in hydrology and water management and wrote my research project on the effect of weirs in rivers, which came 2nd in a national undergraduate competition through the British Hydrological Society!
