Key Stage 3

Our three-year Key Stage 3 gives you the time and space to build a strong understanding across a wide range of subjects. Everyone follows the full Key Stage 3 curriculum in Years 7 to 9, learning together in tutor groups that value inclusion, teamwork and respect.

A Foundation for Everything

In Years 7 to 9, students follow a broad and balanced curriculum across 29 lessons a week. Every subject is chosen to build the academic foundations that make further learning possible, and to open up a world of ideas, perspectives and possibilities.

Every Subject, Every Student

From English and Maths to Drama, Music and PE, every pupil studies the full curriculum. No narrowing, no shortcuts. We believe every child deserves access to a rich and varied education that develops the whole person.

Setting the Course

KS3 is where students discover what excites them, where they build resilience and curiosity, and where the habits of great learning take root. Everything we do in Years 7 to 9 is designed to prepare students not just for GCSE, but for life.
