Secondary Curriculum

In Key Stage 3, pupils follow the National Curriculum as well as studying Spanish language and humanities.They also choose to study another foreign language, either French or German, in Year 7.  In Key Stage 4, we prepare them for the IGCSE examinations in a wide range of subjects which includes  options such as business studies, art and design, computer studies, media studies, drama,  history and geography. In addition, there is a personal, health and social education programme throughout the secondary school.

During the final two years, pupils follow Advanced Level courses in their chosen subjects. Pupils are advised personally by the teachers and personal tutors in order to provide the most appropriate curriculum for them.

The usual recommendation is that they study 5 subjects, including Spanish, taking into account their abilities, potential, interests and career aspirations. There is a complementary programme of Spanish studies, focusing on preparation for Spanish University.

We create the right conditions for effective learning by insisting that all children follow clear codes of conduct, based on respect for fellow pupils, staff, property and the environment. Above all, we aim to foster tolerance, respect and understanding.
