Key Stage 3
Students study a broad range of subjects at Key Stage 3. We emphasise the importance of core skills and knowledge with substantial time being devoted to English, Maths and Science at KS3, so that students are given every opportunity to progress academically and are proficient in skills of Reading, Writing, Communication and Mathematics. The Copthall curriculum also offers a full breadth of foundation subjects taught within a balanced two-week timetable.Students have the opportunity to study two Modern Foreign Languages throughout Key Stage 3 so that they are fully prepared for making suitable option choices at Key Stage 4. History and Geography are taught as discrete subjects, as are the foundation subjects of Computing, Physical Education and Citizenship which is delivered as part of the PSHE curriculum. Dance is taught as a discrete subject at Key Stage 3, which is a part of a long established school tradition.

Copthall provides courses to meet the aptitudes and aspirations of all of our students. Transitions into Key Stages are planned in detail and with consideration to the needs of individuals so that the support for students when making subject choices at Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5 are informed and balanced.Equal opportunities are an integral part of our curriculum planning and our practice. Whilst we provide individual support to students where needed, our curriculum is one which celebrates and is built around an inclusive approach.
