The school now offers the International Baccalaureate (as of 2008) for students who are attending sixth form as another option from taking A levels. It was one of the first schools in Staffordshire to offer this course.
As well as A levels and International Baccalaureate the school also offers BTEC courses such as IT and child care.
The school has a S.E.N (Special Educational Needs) department, and was recently given the status of being dyslexia friendly.
