KS3 Years 7 & 8
Students follow the National Curriculum subjects. In addition to the core subjects of English, mathematics, science, P.E. R.E. PSHE & RSE, all students study; art, computing, drama, geography, history, a range of modern languages, music and three technology subjects. The core subjects follow a five-year curriculum. We have thought about how we can offer a rich, exciting education for all students in a different way. Students make some choices at the end of Year 8, however, in Year 9 it is not simply about starting GCSEs a year earlier.
KS4 Years 9, 10 & 11
At KS4 we add Business, Latin and Psychology as part of our provision. We are an inclusive community. All students have access to a full GCSE curriculum. They ensure breadth and balance is maintained with GCSE choices and gives students every opportunity to develop their passion and interests as they grow into mature young women. All students continue to study the core subjects and select each of the following: a modern foreign language (French, German or Spanish), humanity (geography or history) and a creative subject (art, drama, music, technology). Students then select their own subject choice.
KS5 Years 12 & 13
At KS5 A level students select four AS levels from over 14 subjects in year 12. This enables them to make an informed choice about the 3 or 4 subjects they want to continue to A2 in year 13. Level 3 BTec Health and Social Care is offered as a vocational route.
Digital Learning Provision
In the event of a school full or partial closure, or where it is necessary for a student to remain at home following instructions to self-isolate, we are committed to providing continuity of education and will do so through our digital learning provision.
