From Years 7 to 9, students study a broad and balanced curriculum. We value the creative and performing arts, and they are as crucial a part of the curriculum as core subjects and the humanities, while all students study two languages.
Sport and Music are enjoyed across our year groups, with access to a variety of sports facilities and our school hall as a performance space. This provides the perfect learning environment for students to thrive in an inclusive way at both elite and enjoyment levels. We place a strong emphasis on developing both collaborative skills as well as independent learning and academic understanding to prepare students for their GCSE studies.
We also have some unique aspects to our curriculum, including the opportunity to opt for Global Studies in Year 9, and an Enrichment course exploring critical thinking and global issues in Year 8. All students will also take timetabled PSHE classes.
Students also have the opportunity to develop the curriculum outside of the classroom with trips, cross-curricular activities, and our Activities Week provision. Our co-curricular programme also develops curriculum links with clubs such as Apps4Good, Model United Nations, and Robotics, both drawing from the curriculum and extending the participants with their challenge.
