Curriculum

 Teacher with studentsIn Years 7 to 9, as well as the core subjects of English, Science and Mathematics, all students also study Design and Technology, History, Geography, Music, Art, Physical Education and a foreign language. Religious Education is a compulsory requirement and sex education and citizenship must also be taught.

At Key Stage 4 (Years 10 and 11), students have a broad choice of GCSE subjects. English, Mathematics and Science remain compulsory subjects. To safeguard our vision of a broadly-based curriculum, we include a humanities subject and a foreign language for all students up to 16 as full GCSE subjects. Physical Education and Religious Education are also studied by all.

There is, in addition, a wide range of optional GCSE subjects, including Art, Music, Drama, Physical Education, second foreign languages, Computing, Engineering, Design and Technology and Health and Social Care. We also offer an independent learning programme to support skills development for some students.
