Key Stage 3

Years 7, 8 and 9

At Key Stage 3 we offer students a diverse curriculum upon which they can confidently build their knowledge, skills and understanding at Key Stage 4.

Students study Combined Science in Year 7 and 8. Biology, Chemistry and Physics are taught as separate sciences from Year 9.

Students begin their time with us in Year 7 by studying two Modern Foreign Languages from French, German or Spanish. They continue with these two languages throughout Key Stage 3. All students also study Latin throughout the entire Key Stage.

STEAM is taught as a discrete subject in Year 7 and 8, which incorporates elements of the Sciences, Maths, Art and Technology.

A discrete lesson of PSHE is taught in form groups once per week and delivered by the Head of Year.

Because our students are capable of accessing higher level material from an early age, we like to ensure that all students are challenged across the curriculum, which we achieve by introducing them to higher level concepts, wider context and advanced skills, as appropriate. We begin introducing GCSE specific content from Year 9 in English, Mathematics and the Sciences to fully prepare them for the rigours of GCSE and beyond.
