The Key Stage 3 Curriculum

In years 7 to 9, all students follow a broad and balanced curriculum that allows every child to achieve to the best of their ability while inspiring a love of learning.

The core curriculum consists of a range of subjects and experiences that  nurture the interests, skills and talents of all students while developing their wider knowledge base in preparation for key stage 4.  This is complemented by exciting and innovative learning strands such as our  fortnightly Deep Learning Days in year 7. This allows for a cross-curricular and multi-skilled approach to learning that develops students' personal, learning and thinking skills.  Additional support in literacy and numeracy is available to students who require it, including an intensive phonics-based programme in year 7 and a Study Skills course in year 9.
