The <strong>Key</strong> <strong>Stage</strong> 3 Curriculum<br />
The <strong>Key</strong> <strong>Stage</strong> 3 Curriculum is studied in Years 7 to 9. The Curriculum is all of<br />
the subjects that make up your timetable. This Curriculum will change as you<br />
move from Year 7 to Year 9. It will change again when you move into Year 10<br />
(<strong>Key</strong> <strong>Stage</strong> 4), as you will have some choices to make regarding GCSE subjects.<br />
Firstly let us consider what we are trying to achieve by the curriculum we<br />
offer; these are called the aims.<br />
Aims of the <strong>Key</strong> <strong>Stage</strong> 3 Curriculum<br />
1 A curriculum that is broad<br />
and balanced<br />
This means you study a range<br />
of subjects, and that within<br />
the range there is a good mix<br />
of languages, sciences, arts<br />
and practical subjects.<br />
This means that not<br />
everyone will<br />
necessarily do the<br />
same number of<br />
subjects.<br />
2. A curriculum that offers<br />
flexibility for students to<br />
develop their individual<br />
interests and abilities<br />
3 A curriculum that provides the<br />
opportunity to keep several<br />
possible career pathways open.<br />
You will experience<br />
many subjects so that<br />
you can have an array<br />
of choice at GCSE (<strong>Key</strong><br />
<strong>Stage</strong> 4).<br />
