It is a unique blend of academic, vocational and personal development encompassing service learning, language development and a reflective project designed to develop the whole student beyond the qualifications.

IB Middle Years Programme

All our secondary academies are either authorised or candidate schools and are working together to build an exciting, innovative curriculum that ignites curiosity and develops the knowledge and skills that students need to succeed in later life in a wide range of disciplines.

IB Primary Years Programme 

All our primary academies are candidate schools and are using the PYP framework alongside the national curriculum to encourage a thirst for knowledge, awe and wonder, whilst achieving excellence in the core skills of reading, writing and maths.
