A broad, balanced and engaging curriculum that challenges every student and allows them to follow the pathway that is most appropriate for them
Strong links with industry, higher education and the community that allow students to contextualise their learning
Outstanding support, care and guidance through a well-trained and highly skilled Inclusion Team
Excellent relationships with and amongst staff and students
