Curriculum Highlights

Reading, literacy and numeracy are at the heart of our curriculum; students have the opportunity to develop their reading through our Accelerated Reader and reciprocal reading tutor programmes. A 5-year curriculum learning journey designed to build depth and breadth of knowledge; each subject has its own scheme of work and a five-year flight path. Key Stage 3 (Years 7-9) covers a broad range of subjects and includes an extended school day with enrichment and additional academic experiences. Key Stage 4 offers GCSE and vocational/technical qualifications with a broad options list (e.g., History, Geography, French, Spanish, IT, Computer Science, Food and Catering, Product Design, Art, Music, Dance, Drama, PE, Business Studies/Enterprise, Child Development). Assessment methods include knowledge tests, end-of-term tests, end-of-year exams, and formative feedback (AFL); departments use termly marking and external moderation.
