Key Stage 3 (KS3)
Key Stage 3 incorporates the first 3 years of secondary school (Years 7 – 9)
Our curriculum follows the English National Curriculum by providing a broad, balanced, education which is enhanced by the Cambridge Secondary 1 programme in English, Maths and Science. Students will build on and consolidate the skills and knowledge which they have learnt in the Primary School. This will prepare them for the demands of the examination courses they follow in Key Stage 4 and 5. Students are taught in mixed ability classes for all subjects except English.
The Key Stage 3 programme of study develops the key skills enabling our students to embrace lifelong learning required for our ever-changing globalized world. Key Stage 3 acts as a transition phase between the primary education and the onset of courses leading to external examinations (GCSEs and the IB Diploma).
Early in Year 9, students have the opportunity to sit an on-line careers and aptitude test which allows students to gain an idea of how their interests and academic skills match with possible careers.
