The Key Stage 3 curriculum is guided by the National Curriculum and Pearson Schemes of Work to provide our students with the breadth and depth of knowledge and skills required to access Key Stage 4. The students study Maths, English, Science, Art/DT/Music (Trinity College Arts Award), History, Geography, PSHE, ICT, PE, RE and Home Cooking Skills.

​

​We group our learners flexibly, providing for their needs in a bespoke manner. Cross Curricular links are made wherever possible to build schematic understanding. 

​

Teachers use a mix of instructional teaching and enquiry-based learning to build independence, confidence and an enjoyment of learning. This approach allows the young person to guide elements of their own learning. Empowering students in this way often provides an area of interest, and desire to learn which allows our young people to engage fully with their learning.

 

Lessons are adapted to the needs of our students to allow them to be successful in reaching the lesson objective. We know that individual students take individual routes, but can still arrive at the same destination.
