Secondary School

Students in Key Stage 3 (Years 7, 8 and 9) follow the Secondary National Curriculum for England. They study the same subjects as in the Primary school but they are taught by subject specialist teachers. These include the following subjects: Maths, English, Science, Information Technology, History, Geography, Design Technology, Art, Physical Education, Music, as well as Personal, Social and Health Education.

Thai, Mandarin and French continue to be taught in this Key Stage. Where appropriate, links are made between subjects in order to make learning more meaningful for the students but the skills of each subject are taught separately. 

Key skills are emphasised throughout the Key Stage with English, Mathematics, Science and ICT as core areas of learning.

Assessment is continuous and systematic; this allows for personalised learning which ensures that students make good progress towards attaining their potential at IGCSE (International General Certificate of Education)then beyond into the IB Diploma and the university of their choice.

Students in Key Stage 4 (Years 10 and 11) follow a two-year iGCSE course. We offer a broad and balanced range of subjects at this level.  Subjects offered are: English Language and English Literature, (English as a Second Language where applicable) Mathematics, Science (Dual Award), Mandarin, French, Geography, ICT, Art and Business Studies.

Students continue to take Physical Education and Thai.

At Key Stage 5 (Years 12 and 13) students will study for the IB (International Baccalaureate) Diploma Programme from August 2012. This prestigious Diploma is recognised throughout the world as an entrance qualification for study at university and other providers of Higher Education.
