KS5 Curriculum
Every Year 11 student has a 1:1 curriculum guidance meeting during Year 11 to support them in making Post 16 curriculum choices that match their aptitude, interests and future aspirations.
Students in Key Stage 5 all follow a full time programme of planned learning hours and non-qualification hours (the latter are not detailed here, falling outside of the term ‘curriculum’, but include Personal Social and Health Education (PSHE) provision, CEIAG, enrichment, tutorial and directed study).
- Our current curriculum offer (including entry requirements) can be accessed here.
- Our KS5 ‘Vision, Sequencing and Intent’ can be seen here.
- Our Personal Development offer for Post 16 can be seen here.
