KS3 Curriculum
Students will follow national guidelines throughout Key Stage 3 to support and prepare them for their Key Stage 4 courses. The school operates a banding system of 1-9 (9 being the highest band). Students will be given a target based on their Key Stage 2 scores and baseline assessments on arrival at Edgbarrow. The bandings can be found in the department/subject areas of the website. The band they are awarded at the end of the Key Stage is intended to be indicative of the grade they may achieve at GCSE.
Key Stage 4
The Key Stage 4 curriculum is split into Core compulsory subjects taken by all students and Options where students can make a choice as to the subjects chosen.
Key Stage 5
Under legislation introduced in 2010, it is now compulsory for students to remain in education or training until they are 18. Our Sixth Form programme is comprehensive and includes a range of A Levels and vocational options. Where we are unable to provide for an individual’s needs we will signpost the best options for them. Our Sixth Form has approximately 350 students. The vast majority of these places are filled by current Edgbarrow students with approximately 40 places each year going to students from other schools.
