Overview of Key Stage 3
The KS3 Integrated Curriculum has been designed to develop the key skills necessary for all students to be able to successfully and confidently complete their GCSE/BTEC study. Students will focus on essential skills that will benefit them for their academic study and future careers. The 6 Pillars are: Reading, Writing, Mathematics, Oracy, Problem Solving and Creativity. These 6 pillars will be imbedded into all lessons in Key Stage 3 and they will be assessed and reported on throughout each subject.
Overview of KS4
Our KS4 curriculum enables the learners to experience a curriculum that is tailored to the students needs enhancing their experience and creating a love of learning. We ensure that it does not narrow their entitlement by providing guided academic and technical pathways. Close guidance ensures students make sensible pathway choices. Alongside a ‘core’ offer of PE, Moral and Spiritual and independent learning, all students will study English, maths and science alongside three subjects they have chosen from a wide offer of academic and vocational qualifications. EBACC study is encouraged to raise aspirations of students and is available to all. Core PE and the daily mile are a prominent feature of our curriculum and support physical, mental health and wellbeing.
