KS4 Curriculum

The curriculum at Key Stage Four starts with our values, aims and principles, and is heavily impacted by exam specifications and syllabuses. As with KS3, we think carefully about what we wish our students to learn and in what order, ensuring this learning builds on what has gone before and prepares students for what is coming after, particularly their year 11 examinations and assessments. We specify in detail what knowledge, skills, vocabulary and understanding our students need to learn and lessons are then planned to ensure our students are given opportunities to do so.

Below you will find the detail for each subject, organized by year and by term. Any support you are able to offer at home, such as learning key vocabulary, looking at additional resources together or talking about your child’s school work with them would go a long way to helping embed the strong home-school partnership we strive to achieve.

Please do contact your child’s subject teachers if you have any questions related to the following curriculum overviews.
