Sixth Form Curriculum and Our Subjects

Our intention is to provide a broad and balanced curriculum, delivered through a culture of high expectations, principled and caring relationships and consistent routines.  We use our expert subject knowledge to inspire and enthuse children, sparking curiosity and risk taking.​ 

Our curricula and teaching seek to develop vocabulary, knowledge, skills, character and culture over the long term. We support this through our ‘Pillars of Excellence’; strategies that represent best practice throughout the curriculum.

Our Learning Journeys sets out the order in which the curriculum is delivered in every subject. You can find these on the curriculum page.

Sixth Form Pathways

The curriculum in Years 12 and 13 is defined by pathways:

  1. The A-Level Pathway: Pupils study three A Levels and access to the extended project qualification.
  2. The Career Related Pathway: Pupils study up to three  vocational qualifications related to the world of work.
  3. The Combined Pathway: Pupils study three courses; A Level and Vocational.
