Curriculum
Lower Secondary and Upper Secondary
The Secondary Phase comprises of the Lower and Upper Secondary Departments, the age range is 11 - 16 years.
The curriculum widens still further, seeking to continue the programmes offered in the Primary Department and extending the curriculum to include a Modern Foreign Language. At this stage, pupils are expected to be more independent, organised and able to move around the building to different subject teachers throughout the day. The staff ensure that literacy and numeracy remain at the core of their teaching.
Increasingly, emphasis is on the outside environment and community as a whole. The local community provides many opportunities for learning and visits take place to the local library, shops and industry. Where appropriate pupils are taught and encouraged to travel independently.
Within their final two years the students are offered work experience and links with Further Education. Accreditation is achieved through G.C.S.E and Entry Level, Functional Skills and other forms of accreditation.
