Key Stage 3: Years 7, 8 and 9

Our Key Stage 3 curriculum is designed to teach students the knowledge and skills that are essential not only to achieve exam results that reflect their true potential, but also for their development as learners.

From Year 7, students follow an ambitious, high-quality curriculum that is both stimulating and demanding. This is designed to enable them to progress on to study the EBacc at Key Stage 4, whilst ensuring a strong education in all subjects of the National Curriculum. All of our students also study Drama at Key Stage 3, and the follow our Personal Development curriculum which includes the PSHE, and statutory RSHE.

We operate a 2-week timetable of 50 x 1-hour lessons (or 25 x 1-hour lessons per week). The timetable almost entirely a mirror timetable.

Key Stage 4: Years 10 and 11

In Years 10 and 11, all students continue to study the essential core curriculum of English, maths, science, physical education, religious studies as well as PSHE (including RSE). In addition to these subjects, students can select from a wide range of additional key stage 4 subjects.

Again, we operate a 2-week timetable of 50 x 1-hour lessons (or 25 x 1-hour lessons per week). The timetable almost entirely a mirror timetable.

Sixth Form (Years 12 and 13)

In the Sixth Form, as part of The Consortium Sixth Form College, students have the opportunity to pursue individual areas of strength and interest, building on what they have achieved at Key Stage 4.

With courses delivered across the two Consortium campuses, students study Level 3 Academic A Levels and Applied Generals through the Pathways process, accessing a strong enrichment and careers offer to complement this.
