Subjects

The school offers a full curriculum, including a range of subjects at GCSE, GNVQ and A Level.

Zambia

The school has been collecting funds to aid Zambia as part of an immersion project, with the first group beginning in 2005 with raising over £20,000 in the local area through fund-raising events. A second project took place in February 2007. The 15 volunteers worked in Livingstone for a week, before working in Lusaka for another week. The group of volunteers roofed a school, developed irrigation systems, planted seeds and built a piggery.

After months of fund-raising, the last of the donations were brought in, totaling £35,700. The school undertook preparations for the next trip to Zambia in 2009, in which the same number of pupils and teachers were scheduled to attend. To raise funds for the 2009 trip to Zambia, pupils volunteered to visit supermarkets, such as Tesco and Sainsbury's, in order to receive donations from packing customers shopping bags.
