CURRICULUM / OPTIONS

By ‘curriculum’, we mean what is taught and learned at school. This includes in subjects, assemblies, clubs, sports, volunteering, trips, and every other aspect of school life.

​

Rationale

The rationale that underpins our curriculum can be summed up as follows:

• We want our students to leave school with the knowledge they need to understand the world around them

• We want our students to leave school with the skills they need to continue to learn and contribute to society

• We want our students to leave school with attributes which reflect our school values

• We want our students to leave school with a portfolio of qualifications which open the doors they need them to and which reflects their very best

• We want our students to love learning for the sake of learning, viewing it as interesting, exciting and empowering

For the most part, the curriculum is delivered in subjects, which are timetabled across a 33 period week. You can find out more about the content of the curriculum taught in subjects by clicking on the subject-area links at the right-hand side of this page.
