Key Stage 3 Curriculum

Our Key Stage 3 curriculum is broad and balanced. It takes a lead from the National Curriculum and personalises it to the needs of our pupils. Pupils are in class groups of usually no more than six, with any students who require 1:1 support receive 1:1 support. Pupils are placed into class groups according to need, age and aptitude. We recognise that pupils who aren’t quite ready for a KS3 curriculum benefit from scaffolded learning and further differentiated texts.

Pupils study a wide range of subjects: Maths, English, Science, PE, Geography, History, PSHE, Art, Food technology, Life Skills, Personal Development, RSE and Outdoor Education. They have access to extracurricular activities through internal and external connections.

The intention of our KS3 provision is to ensure children enjoy learning and place value upon it, alongside developing the knowledge and skills to move onto KS4. The whole package of educational input, therapy and pastoral support aims to ensure that pupils are ready for their next step.
