'The School provides students with an outstanding curriculum which is enhanced well by its specialist status. It is broad and balanced throughout, and exceptional flexibility at Key Stage 4 allows personalisation, not just for groups but also for individuals. The taught curriculum is enhanced very well by extremely popular and diverse extra-curricular provision which plays a significant role in promoting students' personal development.'
'The School has been innovative in the way it has developed curriculum provision to extend learning experiences and meet the increasingly broad range of needs at Key Stage 4. Partnerships with local schools, further education colleges and the Little Gryphons nursery have allowed the School to develop an impressive choice of vocational courses and provide opportunities for students who might otherwise not have engaged fully with their education. At Key Stage 3 there are opportunities for early examination entry and project days when younger students can develop their cross-curricular and business skills in depth. Students' take-up of the vast range of visits, clubs and other activities is very high.'
