The lessons will be delivered in a way that allows for student inquiry and will focus on a blended learning approach with the use of technology. As part of the course students will use different skills to apply their knowledge to real word examples and create varying projects each term to reflect the topic and to showcase their development.

Mathematics At Key Stage 3, students follow the British National Curriculum in Mathematics. In Year 7 students will be completing the following topics alongside their MST lessons: Autumn – Number, shape and angles, expressions and formulae Spring – Powers and roots, fractions, averages, probability, sequences Summer – Linear graphs, percentages, ratio and proportion
Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) In Year 7, students will initially have taster lessons in French and Spanish, then select their choice of language to continue with in Key Stage 3. In French, they will follow the Expo scheme of work, and in Spanish follow Mira. In both French and Spanish, students will develop the language learning skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing. They will cover topics including greetings and introductions, talking about home and family, school subjects and opinions, local area and free time activities. Students who have studied French in primary school will begin with later modules on the scheme of work; in order to prepare them for the new-style GCSEs, there will be an emphasis on skills such as translation.
