Year 7 Curriculum Information
The Year 7 curriculum is designed to be broad and balanced to enable pupils to build on the skills, knowledge and understanding they have gained during the primary phase of education. Each subject has a planned learning journey with clear end points; setting out what pupils need to know, understand and do to reach their full potential leading to successful outcomes. The ambitious curriculum motivates pupils to develop the knowledge and skills, resilience and depth of learning needed to succeed in school and later life as well. Pupils are prepared to make positive and informed choices for their future at the end of the Key Stage.
The school’s VLE (Virtual Learning Environment) enables pupils to access subject information and learning resources remotely and allows pupils to begin to take more responsibility for their own learning and to follow their interests.
