Curriculum Structure
The Key Stage 3 offer is broad with 16 individual subjects taught over a three year programme.
The focus at Key Stage 3 is on mastery of knowledge, understanding and skills within a wide range of subjects. Students are taught in mixed ability groups other than in Maths. There is generous time allocation and class sizes in EBacc subjects to guarantee a greater depth of learning.
Key Stage 3 is not simply preparation for Key Stage 4. The curriculum in Key Stage 3 places importance on the delivery of rich and powerful knowledge and ensures students are equipped with the depth of language they need to make exceptional progress. We meet, and in places exceed, the requirements of the National Curriculum.
We have a two-week timetable comprising 50 x 55-minute lessons.
