<strong>Year</strong> 8 <strong>Curriculum</strong><br />
At King Solomon International Business School each year is made up of four<br />
nine-week cycles. Each cycle is separated by an immersion week where students<br />
will complete a range of activities. These activities will include business projects,<br />
PSHCE and careers as well subject based projects to deepen understanding.<br />
During each nine-week cycle students will acquire new skills and knowledge<br />
which will be assessed in a mastery quiz in week 4 and a cumulative assessment<br />
in week 7. In weeks 8 and 9 subject staff will extend the learning further as well<br />
completing interventions following the assessment.<br />
The unit of work for each cycle will have a big question that links the new<br />
learning together under a philosophical or practical question such as “How can<br />
mathematics explain the world around us?” or “What can we do about<br />
poverty?”.<br />
