Short profile:
We offer a full range of extra activities in Sport, Music, Drama and Languages.
Drama trips to theatres take place regularly as do art trips to national and regional galleries.
We provide Football, Rugby, Basketball, Netball, Hockey, Cross Country and Triathlon teams. We have a number of club, county and national players at the school. We also have close links with Canoeing and Rowing clubs locally. Students are encouraged to take part in outdoor education trips to Exmoor, South Wales, Canoeing in France, Skiing in Italy and hiking in the Pyreenes.
The Humanities team run local fieldwork activities, trips to the WW1 Battlefields, together with GCSE fieldwork in Devon.
Our well established Languages exchanges to Germany and France, trips to the Moselle region and to France are very popular.
Our most able students are encouraged to study three separate sciences, consider double award ICT and a GCSE qualification in RE. All students sit their GCSE Statistics exam in Yr 10. It has been traditional that students continue one or two languages to GCSE. This year over 175/195 students sat GCSE French or German with over 70% achieving a higher grade. Nationally less that 50% continue a language to GCSE.
