A broad and balanced curriculum
We pride ourselves on providing opportunities for every student to follow a broad and balanced curriculum. Our curriculum narrative is based around our teaching of key concepts, prioritising depth over breadth and ensuring knowledge and understanding is gained in each subject, at each stage. Our core curriculum of Maths, English and Science, is complemented by 18 different option subjects, for of which students choose to study to GCSE level. Our students take either 10 or 11 GCSEs, depending on whether they study triple Science.
All students study the National Curriculum and the other statutory subjects of Relationships, Health and Sex Education and Religious Education.
This range of choices ensures that there are opportunities for all; we are ambitious for our most able students to study the most challenging academic subjects whilst we are keen to provide more vocational routes for those students requiring additional support. We know that success comes from enjoyment and engagement. Our curriculum aims to give our students the experience they need in order to access the next stage of their education, and realise their potential.
All subjects have a “Learning Journey” which can be accessed in more depth by looking in each subject area on our website. Please note that each 5-Year Curriculum map exists in a bespoke format for that subject. Curriculum offers differ greatly from subject to subject, and Academic Leaders have built a model that best suits the nuances of their subject.
