Pupils work towards a combination of qualifications including GCSE Maths in Year 11 and Functional Skills, at appropriate levels for them.

The school ranges in age from 9-16 therefore the Head Teacher will consider candidates from Primary and Secondary environments. Class sizes are small, between 5-8 pupils but the school is growing in numbers, steadily.
