Call centre training

In 2007 the school attracted some controversy regarding a training programme for call centre operators. The programme was set up in conjunction with an energy company (EDF Energy) which has a call centre in the area. For pupils, successful completion of the course provided half of the credit of a GCSE examination. Local adults were also able to participate. An assistant teacher claimed the programme was a successful one, providing students with "a taste of a real working environment" and helping to build their confidence. However a Sunderland representative of the National Union of Teachers criticized the scheme as "a step too far".
