Mr W Tomlinson – Teacher of Science, STEM lead
We recognise the country’s growing need for a STEM skilled workforce.

This includes visits from STEM professionals such as medics, engineers, mathematicians and forensics scientists, as well as creative workshops delivered by STEM experts, and our very popular in-house STEM club.
Mrs J Bhogal – Numeracy Coordinator, Finance Education Lead
Our Finance Education programme supports our students in becoming financially responsible citizens in the future.

This programme gives students knowledge of bank accounts, debt, savings schemes, loans and mortgages as well as pensions and student finance.
