A) The local authority does not hold details of the curriculum offered by all further education establishments or state schools in the area. We are therefore unable to confirm the answers to questions 1 - 3 above.
A list of the schools and colleges in Herefordshire can be obtained from the website Get Information About Schools, which you can find on GOV.UK via the following link: Get Information about Schools - GOV.UK (get-information-schools.service.gov.uk).
Get Information About Schools includes a link to the establishment website.
Maintained schools, academies, free schools and colleges should publish the content of their curriculum.
