Faculties and year teams are already planning the academic and personal challenges for year groups next year. As part of this we do our best to ensure that, in this time of austerity and a shortage of funding, we do everything possible to keep adding to the curriculum experience of students.

I am really pleased with the plans that faculties have put forward and it is clear that the curriculum in 2019-20 will push the students in terms of greater depth of understanding, greater access to resources and support materials to ensure their subject knowledge and skills are reinforced.

Students and parents will see more of these developments in the new academic year.
