The key stage 4 curriculum is based around a split between ‘general education’ subjects (English, mathematics, physical education, religious education plus any other ‘academic’ subject), accounting for around 60% of curriculum time; and ‘technical subjects’ (the vocational specialism subjects, such as engineering), which account for around 40% of curriculum time. At post 16, these proportions of time are reversed. Pupils typically join the school at the start of Year 10 or Year 12. Most pupils are White British. Approximately four out of five pupils are boys. The school has links with one provider of alternative education, The Skills Village. The school has brokered support from the EBOR Teaching School Alliance.
