Curriculum
The school is one of few state schools currently offering the International Baccalaureate in the sixth form, although this will be discontinued in August 2011. Other popular courses in the 6th form are BTec National Diplomas in subjects such as Uniformed Public Services, Travel and Tourism, Health and Social Care and Performing Arts. In years 7-11 the curriculum covers all the requirements of the National Curriculum and students are routinely entered for GCSE and other qualifications from year 9 onwards. The college is also a member of SHAPE (the Surrey Heath Area Partnership for Education) which is working towards effective collaboration in the curriculum across all the secondary schools in the borough.

Famous quotes containing the word curriculum:
“If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
