KS3 Curriculum

Key stage 3 is the first 3 years of secondary school, when the students are in years 7, 8 and 9. In year 7, the first year of secondary school we keep the curriculum similar to a primary model to help the students cope with the change from one school to another. Most year 7 students stay in their class group for all subjects and a topic approach is used e.g. ‘Life, living and growing’ with a new topic each half term.

In years 8 and 9 the students are based in their classes but spend more time working in their pathway groups.
