Curriculum Overview
Key Stage 3: 11 to 14 years
In the first year of the Senior School, we introduce students to a broad and stimulating programme: the curriculum comprises English, Mathematics, Science, French, Spanish, Geography, History, Religious Education, Art, Drama, Computing, PE and Technologies which include Music, Design & Technology, Food Technology and Art Textiles. In addition, students have a Form period, attend Chapel once a week and have a dedicated PSHE lesson including Careers. Many students further enrich their studies with extracurricular Music and Speech & Drama lessons. A full programme of sports practices and fixtures also enhances the Games programme.
In Year 8 students are taught Biology, Chemistry and Physics separately rather than general Science.
