In setting the highest aspirations for our pupils we aim:
As a school with responsibility for challenging highly able boys, our curriculum must be stimulating and demanding, both academically and in terms of pupils’ personal development.
Pupils are taught discrete subjects by specialists from Year 7. Challenge is ensured by subject leaders giving careful consideration to the knowledge to be delivered enabling the strongest possible progress.
Pupils are taught a broad curriculum throughout Years 7-13 (see Curriculum: Structure below). Challenge is ensured by pupils’ experience of a wide range of disciplines and their associated progression models, alongside our aim for 100% participation beyond academic study.
Pupils are taught linear specialist courses (not carousels or blended disciplines) in all academic areas of the curriculum. Challenge is enabled by specialist planning which aims to deepen core knowledge across Years 9-11 as part of our GCSEPlus programme.
