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.
Our four year development plan includes targets to raise students’ 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.
- provide continuous opportunities for students to interact with business people.
- enable students to gain valuable experiences of learning how a business runs
- support students in enterprise ideas
Our goal is to help students 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 student
- 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.
