Curriculum & Learning
So what do we teach and, equally important, how does your child learn?
Learning skills are integral to our approach and in the junior years (7 to 9), class sizes of no more than 14 (about 8 in English & Maths) allow the individual attention you deserve. We follow the National Curriculum and a lot more besides: a choice of up to 21 subjects leading to GCSE or Level 2 BTEC and 17 for A-level or Level 3 BTEC; you’ll need our prospectus for the whole lot, but here’s a flavour:
| GCSE/Level 2 BTEC | A-Level/Level 3 BTEC |
|---|---|
| Art | |
| Art | Applied Science |
| Business Studies | Biology |
| Design & Technology | Business Studies |
