Our RIDE Curriculum has been designed to provide all pupils across Key Stages 3, 4 and 5 with an accessible learning experience, which allows pupils to take ownership of and lead their own learning, encouraging thinking and problem solving skills. As a school we strive to ensure that all of our pupils achieve their personal best. We are aspirational for our young people and provide the scaffold to enable our pupils to be aspirational for themselves. We believe that our pupils have immense potential and we are the facilitators who allow our pupils to grow and aspire.

 All staff at GSSC are committed to supporting the practice and ethos of CE as an integral part of our whole school curriculum.
