Curriculum Offer

Students in Year 7, Year 8 and Year 9 follow our Key Stage 3 curriculum. This is carefully planned to ensure that it matches and in some areas exceeds the breadth, depth and ambition of the National Curriculum.

At the end of Year 9 students are able to choose which subjects they study further in Year 10 and Year 11. Students and their families are provided with special assemblies, an options event and a special options website to support the making of an informed decision.

We have put together a map showing the topics covered for each year group in each subject, in each half-term.
