Elite Scholars 
Year 7 curriculum aims: The Elite Scholars programme is a curriculum innovation that we are very proud of. It has stemmed from the very successful Sports Scholars programme that has run for many years and has given students an opportunity to excel in a variety of sports disciplines. So successful has it been that we felt the logical next step is to broaden it out to include other areas. The Elite Scholars programme now runs in Sport, Science, Technology/Engineering and Performing Arts/Dance. Application forms for the Elite Scholars are available from the Head of Faculty for each of the areas.
