Our career guidance and work experience program is excellent. Our curriculum build and develops transferable skills. Across the school we look for means for students to engage with external providers and employers. Tied to this we actively encourage volunteering and fundraising. As a result working with the local community is a strong feature of the school. A large number of our students engage withe the NCS (National Citizen Service) program each summer.
