Curiculum
Rugeley School’s curriculum draws significant content from the National Curriculum but is expertly adapted to meet every young people’s individual needs. The curriculum is built around the following seven areas, as set out in the Independent School Standards:Linguistic, Mathematical, Scientific, Technological, Human and social, Physical, Aesthetic and creative. At Rugeley School, Key Stage 2 and 3 pupils follow the National Curriculum but, from Key Stage 4 onwards, greater emphasis is placed on following individual interest. All the pupils work towards accredited awards with AQA, OCR and ASDAN.
Enriching learning
They provide an ‘Enrichment’ curriculum, offering our young people access to a wide range of interests which they may choose to pursue. They believe these structured activities help the students to develop better life outcomes through increasing interests, personal skills and employment. Vocational and work experience opportunities form an important part of the curriculum for many of the pupils post-16.
