Key Stage 3
On entry to Year 7, your daughter is placed in classes according to her KS2 attainment in maths and English. The exception is Creative Design classes which are set separately to allow for smaller class sizes in practical subjects. The appropriateness of the classes your daughter is in is regularly reviewed. However, they aim to keep class changes as minimal as possible as they feel a stable learning environment is best for her happiness and sense of security. For this reason changes to classes normally only happen at the end of an academic year and most stay with the same class throughout Key Stage 3

In Years 10 and 11, your daughter will continue with the core subjects of English Language, English Literature, maths, RE and sciences. Science studies will lead to either a qualifications in double award GCSE Combined Science, or as separate GCSE Biology, GCSE Chemistry and GCSE Physics qualifications. This is decided by your daughter’s science teachers based on her progress and aptitude for the subject at the end of Year 9. All pupils study a PSHE curriculum through dedicated time in RE lessons and have PE lessons for general fitness throughout Years 10 and 11.Your daughter will also have the option to study a number of other qualifications alongside her core subjects.
