Key Stage 3
In Years 7 , 8 and 9 pupils follow a varied curriculum that is prescribed for them and largely the same for all pupils:
| Lessons Per Week | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Subject | Year 7 | Year 8 | Year 9 |
| English | 4 | 4 | 5 |
| Maths | 4 | 4 | 4/5 |
| Science | 4 | 4 | 5 |
| Geography | 2 | 2 | 2 |
| History | 2 | 2 | 2 |
| French or Spanish | 3 | 3 | 3/2 |
| Art | 2 | 2 | 2 for chosen creative subject |
| Drama | 1 | 1 | |
| Music | 2 | 1 | |
| Technology | 2 | 2 | 2 |
| Philosophy & Ethics | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| PE and Games | 3 | 3 | 2 |
| PSHCE | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Total | 29 | 29 | 29 |
Note that a relatively small number of pupils in year 7 and 8 have a reduced modern foreign language period allocation to allow them to access extra lessons in English.
