Key Stage 3 (Ages 11-14)

The curriculum is deliberately broad so that there is the finest possible blend of the best traditional schooling and the latest national curriculum initiatives. At this is stage all the Key Stage 2 subjects continue, but the separate sciences - Physics, Chemistry and Biology replace General Science. Latin is introduced in Year 7 and Latin or Drama is offered as an option for pupils in Year 8. A second modern language is available from Year 9.

The number of one hour periods studied over a two week time-table by pupils at this stage is as follows:

Year 9 will have the opportunity to choose certain subjects from a pre-GCSE option list.

One main advantage in the new curriculumstructure is that there will be more time allocation for the subjects chosen compared to previous years. The core subjects will still be compulsory and a more comprehensice GCSE option system will still apply in Year 10. Also, Spanish is now being offered as the second modern foriegn language.

Three choices to be made from the shaded box.

Key Stage 4 - when it comes to the GCSE years of Key Stage 4 we believe in choice. Maths, English Language and English Literature normally remain compulsory, as does Physical Education, but following a special conference half way through Year 9, pupils are allowed to choose a further six subjects. The option subject groupings vary from year to year in order to cater for the subject combinations required by the majority. Each pupil, however, normally takes at least one modern foreign language, one science subject and one humanities subject. In this way a broad and balanced education is ensured.

The full list of subjects available is as follows:

In addition to compulsory and option subjects in Years 10 and 11, the curriculum of a small number of pupils is enriched by the opportunity to participate in additional GCSEs such as Physical Education and Statistics.

Sixth Form- While remaining an integral part of the School, the Sixth Form has its own common room and social life in a separate area of the School. The normal entry requirement for the Sixth Form is at least 5 GCSE passes at grade A*-C. Following individual counselling and careful consideration of their strengths, interests and possible career plans, pupils normally choose four subject for AS Level studies (Year 12) and three subjects for A2 studies (Year 13). In certain circumstances it may be permitted to take only 3 subjects or as many as 5. The combination of subjects available varies each year in order to cater for the desired subject combinations of the majority of pupils. For the last few years it has been possible to arrange the option groups so that each pupil has been able to study their desired AS/A2 Levels.

The subjects available for study at A Level are as follows: Biology, Chemistry, Computer Studies, Design Technology, Economics, English Literature or English Language and Literature, French, Geography, German, History, Mathematics and Physics always feature as A Level choices. Art, Drama, Music, Religious Studies, Further Mathematics and Media Studies are also available if required.

In addition sixth formers can also follow a course in Critical Thinking which leads to an AS Level at the end of Year 12. All sixth formers take part in recreational studies.
