Community

The school has a very active Parents’ Association, which organises regular socials that are very well supported.

It also has a number of links with local industry and the local community. Industrialists and other members of the community regularly visit the school to contribute to the curriculum. All year 10 students (and Sixth Form GNVQ students) engage in a two weeks work experience. In the Sixth Form we run an “Insight into Management” course. The school is part of the Neighbourhood Engineers Project and works closely with the Education Business Partnership.

The school was awarded the Schools’ Curriculum Award 2000 in recognition of its links with the community.

Link Evenings for Parents
