The content of our curriculum changes intentionally to support students’ learning journeys across all of the key stages. Students have an increasing amount of choice in their curriculum studies as they get older, particularly in Year 9 when they select Key Stage 4 courses for study and, again, in Year 11, in their transition from Key Stage 4 into Key Stage 5. Please see Appendix A in the ‘Curriculum and Assessment policy’ for further detail about the Key Stage 3 curriculum overview and structure.

A three-year Key Stage 3 ensures students can experience the full National Curriculum across a broad range of subjects: English, Mathematics, Science: Art, Computing and ICT, Dance, Drama, French or Spanish, Food Technology, Geography, History, Music, Social, Personal and Cultural Studies, incorporating PPE (Politics, Philosophy, and Enterprise), Religious Education and PSHE; Physical Education, Product Design and Textiles Technology.

The individual subject pages explain the principles of intent, implementation and impact in the design of our Key Stage 3 curriculum.
