The Secondary Phase sees students through years 7 - 11 and at maximum capacity can accommodate 1200 students. Children will transfer from our Primary School but also from other Primary Schools in the area. Therefore, there is a wonderful oppurtunity to see young people develop and learn from pre-school through to 16 years old. The accommodation for the secondary phase has been designed to establish curriculum faculties for all subjects. Each faculty is led by a Head of Faculty and these are:

• Faculty of Engineering - with an Engineering Gallery and 11 Technology rooms to deliver all aspects of the technology curriculum including Computer-Aided Design, Resistant Materials, Design & Realisation, Electronics, Food Technology, Textiles Technology and Information Technology.
