The Assistant Headteachers ensure that the school keeps abreast of national and local policy and exploits every available opportunity to design and deliver courses that all pupils, regardless of ability, will find both stimulating and challenging. Heads of Department are responsible for the day-to-day delivery of courses, for ensuring that staff training is up-to-date, and for monitoring pupil progress within subjects. The Gifted and Talented Coordinator has particular responsibility for ensuring that the most able pupils are stretched in lessons, that their curriculum is complemented and enriched by a range of additional activities, and that their aspirations are raised. The Special Needs Coordinator and the Learning Support Unit Manager have particular responsibility for ensuring that all staff are aware of the styles of teaching that are required by statemented children and others who have special needs (either short-term or long-term). The Pastoral Coordinator and the Achievement Coordinators are particularly concerned with monitoring the overall attitude and progress of individual pupils.
