Curriculum
At Prendergast School the curriculum is built to offer breadth and balance to all the learners in each year. Whether that is addressing the early development focus of the youngest learners in Key Stage 3 or the academic aspirations and qualifications of our Key Stage 5 students as they approach their public examinations. The teaching is responsive to changes in the National Curriculum and embraces the high standards in knowledge and skills required to meet the needs of a twenty-first century education. They are innovative in our approach and integrate the responsibilities around delivering social, moral, spiritual and cultural, digital literacy and careers education into the programme of academic studies at all key stages. In addition to the academic routes, we offer a wide variety of enrichment lessons and activities. Prendergast School has an exceptionally dedicated staff who work extremely hard to ensure students reach their full potential. We have a range of support systems, particularly in Literacy and Mathematics, which supports those students who need it.
