Key Stage 3

In Years 7 & 8 all pupils follow a curriculum of English, mathematics, science, French, geography, history, religious studies, PE, games, design technology, ICT, art, music and drama. Some pupils also study Spanish as an additional language.

All lessons are taught in ability streams from the very first day in Year 7 as we believe this is the most effective method for pupils of all abilities to make progress. Pupil groups are regularly reviewed to monitor individual progress. Some classes receive additional time and support in English to help ensure they have reached level 5 by the end of Year 8.

All pupils also study a comprehensive PSHE (Personal, Social & Health Education) and citizenship programme which includes health, enterprise, economic & political awareness and careers education.
