KS3 Curriculum Information
These guides are intended to provide useful information for parents regarding the curriculum pupils are studying this year. They are split into three sections:
- units taught each term
- the main skills developed over the year
- how parents can help to support learning
If you have any queries regarding the content of the guides, please do not hesitate to contact the relevant Head of Department or myself directly at the school.
For any parents who would like a paper copy please contact Mrs Stone at the school and she will arrange for one to be sent home.
