Key Stage 3 Curriculum

Within key stage 3 (Years 7, 8 and 9)  we have a dedicated and caring team of teachers and teaching assistants.

We have 6 groups in key stage 3:

  • Watson – Year 7 Sensory – Miss Herbison and Miss Forbes
  • Adams – Year 7 Social – Miss Conway and Mrs Lockwood
  • Banksy – Year 7 Intervention – Mr Blaylock and Mr Campbell
  • Parks – Year 8 Sensory – Mr Freeman and Mrs Flanagan  
  • Newton – Year 8 Social – Miss Scott and Mr Lohan
  • Curie – Year 9 Sensory – Ms Quatermass and Mrs Riley
  • Castner – Year 9 Social – Miss Davies and Mr Beatie

In year 7, 8 and 9 pupils are taught in base classes where they have 1 teacher and TA for most of the day.  They have specialist teachers for science, PE and computing. 

Pupils complete ASDAN awards which are embedded into their curriculum. Year 9 pupils work towards their Functional Skills tests in English and maths.
