Prospectus

The school was granted 'Specialist Science College' status in July 2003. As at September 2003, there were 121 designated Science Colleges, each at the forefront of innovation in Science and Mathematics.

The school is committed to a broad and balanced curriculum and promoting excellence through challenge in all subjects, including the specialist subjects of Science and Mathematics. The school is supporting access to Science in the Axe Valley through post-16 provision in the Physical Sciences to Axe Valley Community College students.

We are also working in partnership with the primary schools of the Axe Valley to develop Maths and Science teaching projects. We are also committed to supporting the development of science in the broader community and we are working with East Devon Primary Care Trust and the Devon and Cornwall NHS Workforce Development Confederation, on several community projects.
