Colyton Grammar School is leading State Secondary school in Colyton. This is a Selective school for kids age 11 to 18 years. Gender - Mixed
The School has a reputation for academic success and the overwhelming majority of our students progress to the most highly selective universities and places of learning in the UK including Oxford, Cambridge and the Royal College of Music. Our success is built on high expectations, hard work and the fact that we are an inclusive school built on meritocracy. We are a school for every academically able child regardless of social-economic background, ethnicity or gender, with additional support and bursaries where they are needed.
Year 7 and Year 8: The lower years
The curriculum promotes firm academic foundations, personal enquiry, independent study, internationalism, and social responsibility. By focussing on learning how to learn, students are therefore equipped with the tools to navigate successfully through their GCSE courses. Both Years 7 and 8 will have the opportunity to follow an Extension Programme.
Years 9 to Year 11: The middle years - GCSE
A three year GCSE programme that allows for stretch and challenge during the delivery of the more difficult reformed GCSE programmes of study. Community Service: students will support the outreach work in the local primary schools establishing strong inter school partnerships and developing their own skill set.
Year 12 and Year 13: +16 Curriculum (upper years - A Level)
Beyond GCSE, most students study three subjects to A (Advanced) Level together with the Extended Project. However, there is an option for those who particularly want to study a fourth A Level such as Further Maths. The following courses are offered to A Level: Art, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Drama, Economics, English Literature, French, Geography, German, Government and Politics, History, Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Music, Physical Education, Physics, Psychology, Religion Philosophy and Ethics.
Sixth Form Life
The sixth formers have established a long tradition of success at A-Level and in going on to highly aspirational futures beyond school. They believe strongly in the importance of a supportive & friendly environment as a basis for this success and think it important that we share with you our aims and values as a sixth form.
