Our curriculum aims to produce young people that are successful learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens. Our goal is to ensure that every one of our students can access a life of choice and opportunity when their time at The Centre School comes to a close.
To this end a diverse range of accreditation and qualifications are offered, alongside a comprehensive personal development curriculum. Progression, either within our own post-16 Vocational Programme, or with other providers, is a priority for the school.
The Centre School will offer a positive educational experience that cultivates high self-esteem and ensures that all members of the school community can take advantage of both learning, and leisure opportunities to make good progress and prepare them for the next stage of life.
