Curriculum Offer
KS3 Curriculum Offer
Students undertake an intensive programme of work designed to give them confidence in their learning so that they return to school able to access the curriculum successfully. The College has established close links with local secondary schools with whom our staff liaise closely to ensure that students can be successfully re-integrated back into mainstream settings.
KS3 students follow a curriculum which reflects that of a mainstream school.
KS4 Curriculum Offer
At Key Stage 4, students complete a range of GCSE and vocational courses to prepare them for progression to post-16 education. The aim is for all students to complete at least 5 GCSEs (including English and Maths). Courses on offer include:
- AQA GCSE English Language
- AQA GCSE English Literature
- Edexcel GCSE Maths
- AQA GCSE Biology
- AQA GCSE Combined Science (double award)
- BTEC Level 1/Level 2 Tech Award in Art and Design Practice
- BTEC Level 1/Level 2 Tech Award in Child Development
- BTEC Level 1/Level 2 Tech Award in Travel and Tourism
- OCR Level 1/Level 2 Cambridge National in Enterprise and Marketing
- OCR Level 1/Level 2 Cambridge National in Sport Studies
All students in Year 11 are also given the opportunity to complete Level 2 Functional Skills in both English and Maths.
In order to gain good GCSE results, students need to attend and achieve at a consistently high level during Key Stage 4. They need to ensure course work is delivered on time, and that they regularly complete homework and class work. Failure to do this will have a detrimental impact upon GCSE grades.
Additional Curriculum
In addition to the academic curriculum, students in Year 9 to 11 also have weekly access to the Wellbeing Hub at our John Evelyn Campus. During their time here, students take part in a range of ASDAN short courses linked to the dimensions of wellbeing including physical, emotional, social, occupational, financial, environmental and spiritual. Students also have the opportunity to complete first aid certificates and the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.
