Curriculum · teaching · care · progression

Key Stage 3 gives pupils a broad academic foundation before option choices narrow the programme. Live lessons develop knowledge, discussion, independent study and the habits needed for public examinations.

  • English Language, English Literature and Mathematics

  • Biology, Chemistry and Physics

  • Humanities, languages, computing and creative subjects

  • Guidance before International GCSE choices

02

Years 10–11: A Focused International GCSE Pathway

Pupils move into Pearson Edexcel International GCSE study, combining core subjects with options. The current full package can include up to ten subjects; final combinations depend on the published offer, timetable and sufficient demand.

  • Core English Language, English Literature and Mathematics

  • Separate or double-award science routes confirmed by the school

  • Language and additional subject options

  • Public examinations assessed to recognised Pearson Edexcel specifications

03

Live Teaching Makes Progress Visible

Teachers can question pupils, check understanding and respond during the lesson. Assessed work and direct feedback give pupils a clear next step and help families understand progress before gaps become entrenched.

04

Teenagers Still Need School Community

Tutor time, assemblies, pastoral care, student leadership and enrichment sit alongside the academic timetable. The aim is examination readiness without reducing secondary education to exam preparation alone.

05

A Connected Route into Sixth Form

Subject choices, results and future plans are discussed as one pathway. Pupils can progress into Years 12–13 at iBOS for live International A Level study and university guidance.
