Key Stage 3
For their study of Mathematics (7 hours) the year group is split into two halves. Students from Bridge, Castle and Gordon are then set into groups 1 – 3. The most able students (based on their attainment and progress from Year 7) are placed into set 1. Sets 2 and 3 are of mixed parallel ability. The same applies to students in Pitt, River, Thetford and Tower. Students attend their Life Skills lessons (2 hours) and PE lessons (2 hours) in their Mathematics sets. At the start of Year 7 students were placed into sets ensuring they all received their first two language choices from either Latin (4 hours), French (4 hours) or Spanish (4 hours). They attend these lessons in their Form groups as noted above. All students attend Games in the afternoon for 1 hour per week where they are placed into 7 sets based on sporting ability. At the end of Year 8 students will continue onto the same curriculum offer in Year 9 with an addition hour of Mathematics (7 to 8 hours), with one less in Computing (3 to 2 hours).

Key Stage 4
All students are required to study Mathematics (8 Hours), English Language and Literature (combined 7 Hours) and either Triple Science (13 hours) or Combined Science (9 hours). In addition, all students choose at least one humanity from either Geography or History (4 hours) and at least one language from either French (4 hours), Spanish (4 hours) or Latin (4 hours). As a result, all students are entered for the English Baccalaureate suite of subjects.

Sixth Form
All Year 12 students may choose either 3 A Levels or 4 A Levels across 2 years of study from the following subjects (each year of study Level comprises of 150 learning hours throughout the duration of the course – this is 5 learning hours per week per subject). In addition to their A Level subject choices there is a compulsory requirement for all students to choose at least one option from either the Performance Academy (PE) or Recreational (PE) enrichment options. These ensure all Sixth Form students can confidently pursue their interest(s) outside of academic study.
