Curriculum
St Philip’s school is committed to helping our young people gain the knowledge, skills and attributes needed for life in the 21st century. We have moved towards a more dynamic and relevant curriculum that helps young people to get to know themselves as individuals and to develop their relationships with others. Young people’s rights and entitlements to education are central to the curriculum on offer across Education, Health and Wellbeing and The Skills and Vocational Centre.

They can study a range of Music Awards within the Music department including Music Technology awards within the recording studio.
Skills and Vocational Centre
The Skills and Vocational Centre will provide young people with exciting and extended educational and vocational opportunities. The Centre is aimed at creating opportunities for young people to move directly into college, training and employment.

In each of the centres, St Philip’s supports young people to develop the four capacities as learners and empower our young people to become successful learners, confident individuals, effective contributors and responsible citizens.
