Key Stage 3

This Key Stage develops breadth and depth of knowledge, understanding and skills, building on students' learning and achievement at Key Stage 2.  All students will be introduced to subjects that give them direct experiences and allow them to develop a full range of skills and interests.  Whilst the core subjects are heavily weighted, proper attention is also given to the arts. 

Students are supported to be more independent and aware of their own learning skills and needs. They have opportunities to be creative and resourceful and are encouraged to have enquiring minds and to think for themselves, to process information, to reason, question and evaluate.  Looking towards GCSE, the curriculum also develops memory around core content material.

In Years 7 to 9, the following subjects are taught:
