Colleges
Your child will join a College when he/she enters the Academy and will remain within that College throughout his/her school career. All aspects of support for his/her academic progress and pastoral care will take place within the College.
Your child’s named College does not imply that they have a particular aptitude or interest. Your child will have access to the same curriculum provision, choices and Academy facilities irrespective of his/her College.
