The Areas of Learning are led by an Assistant Headteacher, supported by a Pastoral Leader/Manager. The five Areas are: # Communication & Culture (CC) — English, MFL, Film Studies, Media Studies, Drama # Creative & Physical Design (CPD) — Art, Music, PE, Technology # Ethos & Personal Development (EPD) — RE, Citizenship, PHSE, History # Environmental & Scientific Understanding (ESU) — Science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics), Geography # Numeracy & Enterprise (NE) — Maths, ICT, Business, Statistics
