Our Curriculum​

Quest Overview

Our curriculum has been designed around a ‘Quest’ approach. Quests are a series of half-termly cross-curricular projects with students across the whole school focussing on the same theme yet studying at a level appropriate to them. Each Quest includes a range of enrichment activities such as trips or visits as experiential learning is key to supporting our students’ capacity to retain and recall learning.
