As a business and enterprise college we aim to develop a business culture throughout the school and integrate business and work-related experiences across the curriculum.

in G3 with Mrs F. Issifu

Our four year development plan includes targets to raise pupils' achievements and increase participation in our specialist subjects of business and work-related subjects, Maths, ICT and Citizenship.

As a specialist college we can access a wide range of additional funding and opportunities. This has enabled us to:

• improve our facilities for Business Studies and Maths
• expand our careers education
• refurbish our hall to make our presentations to large audiences more professional.

Students and teacher in class

Our goal is to help pupils develop the attitudes and skills that will help them succeed in the 21st century. We will do this by:

• setting highly-individual achievement targets for each pupil
• developing new teaching techniques to raise educational standards
• expanding the use of computer-based learning
• widening the range of courses at 14+
• developing links with local employers.

Our status as a specialist business and enterprise college therefore supports our overall goal of raising attainment.

It is no easy task talking to a large audience of adults and your students showed a great deal of poise and maturity.
