Our subject teachers have designed curriculums so that our students can learn a breadth and depth of knowledge and master the skills to apply this knowledge.  Careful sequencing of knowledge and skills first builds on learning acquired during Key Stage 2, and then, on each topic, term and year that follows through the secondary years.   

Individual subjects have determined the core concepts, themes or strands that run through their subject.  Our staff know that understanding these concepts, themes or strands is fundamental to our student's achieving success.  Collaboratively, teams have agreed their ‘Curriculum Intent’ or ‘strapline’ to convey the importance of their subject and the passion they have for it.

The following pages provide information on each subject area.

Information includes an overview of the subject, what is studied at each key stage and what the external assessment arrangements are.  As a school we have a whole school approach to internal assessment and routine marking and feedback.  Find out more on the main Assessment and Internal Examinations page.  There is also information for parents and carers to enable them to support their child’s learning at home.
