It is aimed at enabling our students to reach the highest levels of achievement and personal development. Students are encouraged to choose whichever options they want and we are proud that we build our curriculum around their choices. KS4 options allow for greater personalisation of a challenging, broad and rich curriculum. While the majority achieve the EBacc qualification, not all choose those paths. Students develop oracy further to become articulate and confident in expressing opinions informed by a knowledge rich curriculum. We aim to develop a love of learning and scholarship so that students flourish in KS5.The curriculum aims to enrich rather than accelerate. The pastoral system supports students as they prepare for external examinations and make decisions about their future pathways. A core aim of the PSHE programme is to foster resilience and confidence and to promote the school’s core values. We aim to equip students with the skills to keep themselves safe in the face of social media and peer pressure. KS4 CURRICULUM OVERVIEW We offer a very broad range of subjects at Key Stage 4. Our offer for 2020-21 includes English Language and Literature, Mathematics, Triple Science, a half course in Religious Studies and a modern foreign language. All students study for at least ten GCSE qualifications and some opt to study for ten and a half. The optional subjects are: Astronomy Computer Science Drama Fine Art Food Preparation and Nutrition French Geography German History Latin Music PE Photography Product Design RS (converts Short Course to Full Course) Spanish Textiles We believe strongly that students need to learn the skills of independent study and so most students in Years 10 and 11 have at least one supervised private study period per fortnight.
