Curriculum

Our students follow the National Curriculum and a broad range of subjects over a two-week timetable consisting of a total of 50 one-hour lessons. This allows students to demonstrate their individual talents, whilst providing a sound basis for further study and for success in later life.

All students are required to attend all timetabled lessons and sessions. Whilst parents/carers have the right to withdraw students from Sex Education (except that required as part of National Curriculum Science), we encourage all students to follow this important part of the School’s curriculum. Details of our programme can be obtained from the school.

Students study English, Mathematics, Science, Modern Foreign Language, Design & Technology, Cooking & Nutrition, History, Geography, Art, Music, Drama, Physical Education, LIFE – Learning, Identity, Faith and Ethics (Religious Education, Sex, Relationships and Health Education), Computing.

In Year 7, students in need of literacy or numeracy support are withdrawn from languages for the first two rotations and given additional support before entering the third rotation, allowing them to follow language courses in Years 8 and 9.
