Our Curriculum
Our curriculum ambition
Our students study a broad and balanced curriculum, and our Key Stage 4 programme commences in Year 10. Whilst our aim is that the English Baccalaureate (EBacc) will be the qualification for most of our students, our curriculum remains comprehensive and inclusive, including specific nurture provision at KS3 for those students who need it. To support students in all our lessons, we use five learning modes to help manage cognitive load and allow students to focus on the job of learning. Our students are also provided with a bespoke knowledge organiser that outlines all of the key knowledge that they need to know and remember.
