The character of each and every student cannot be left to chance. We not only want to applaud the most amazing academic and vocational results but see a growth in confidence and the acquisition of the skills that employers and Universities seek. This is embodied through our key TICK values of Tenacity, Integrity, Compassion and Knowledge.  To help enact our curriculum and core value aims as well as studying and exploring specific subject disciplines our students take part in an extended curriculum where they complete activities that enhance their wellbeing, Learning, Reading, and wider experiences. We also understand that students' mental health and overall wellbeing can affect their learning and achievements. We therefore proactively promote positive mental health and closely monitor student welfare and attendance to prevent problems before they arise and offer support where needed. Students will be mentored, referred and motivated to seek help, to cope with life's challenges as they arise to enable them to fulfil their full potential.
