At Key Stage 3, all students follow the National Curriculum by studying English, Mathematics, Science, Art, Geography, History, ICT, French, Performing Arts (Music, Dance and Drama), Physical Education, Religious Education and Design Technology. The Key Stage 3 curriculum develops a strong foundation for these subject areas, strengthening skills and building knowledge required for further study, whilst striving to develop a passion and enthusiasm for learning. The curriculum and schemes of learning are as least as ambitious as the national curriculum requires. (Please see the national curriculum aims and targets for each subject within the subject areas on the website).
