CURRICULUM INTENT Our curriculum is guided by our core principles of excellence, care and high expectations. This means we hold dear the belief that every single young person at our school is capable of achieving something extraordinary.

Excellence is embodied in our curriculum through the high value we place on subjects and our teachers as experts in their subject areas. We want pupils to have access to the best that has been thought and said.

Therefore, our teachers think in detail about what to teach and in what order. We want pupils’ future options to be wide, so we ensure our curriculum is broad and balanced.

Care is demonstrated through our evidence informed approach to planning and teaching. We believe pupils are more likely to remember all they have learned if the delivery of that knowledge has been carefully sequenced and matched to appropriate teaching strategies. Our ethos, underpinned by the gospel values, respects each pupil as unique individuals. All adults within the school foster close and productive relationships with pupils so showing them a blueprint for how they can engage positively with their wider community.

High expectations are evident through the rigorous, academic and vocational curriculums on offer. At GCSE, the vast majority are entered for, and excel in, Ebacc subjects. By ensuring broad coverage of academic and vocational subjects, we ensure all pupils are not only prepared for public exams but life afterwards.

Our curriculums are planned backwards from the end of each Key Stage but enriched from the level above. This is to ensure that our curriculum offer is ambitious for all students. We design it so that a pupil will excel at university or acquire the subject knowledge and skills for a future career, whatever the route they take. We want pupils to leave the school with the widest possible life choices so they are able to find their place as active, educated citizens within society.

YEAR 9 OPTIONS At the end of year 9 all students will choose the subjects they want to study at GCSE. You will receive a lot more information in year 9 but this is a brief overview.

There are two routes students can take when choosing their GCSE subjects. The Green route and the Blue route.

The Green route is the more academic route where students will carry on studying a Humanity, Language and choose one other subject. Choosing some of these would provide a solid foundation for progression to study A Levels and continued education at university.

The Blue route provides students with a mix of academic and vocational subjects, which is ideal for those students who wish to undertake studies which provide a good preparation for the world of work, and/or future post-16 vocational studies and A Levels.

The option blocks are as follows and students will be able to choose one subject from each block.: Humanities Block
