Progression
There are several key points where our students move onto
the next stage in their education. From September 2020
we will be teaching our new curriculum. This exciting new
development will go well beyond the requirements of the
national curriculum to ensure our students are given an
educational experience which is second to none. One example
of this is that we have been selected by the British Council
to teach Chinese to a group of Year 7 students as part of the
Mandarin Excellence programme with is run by one of the
top universities in the country (University College London).
Our 2021 Year 7 students will make their subject choices
in Year 9. This will ensure that the students experience
a wider range of subjects than we currently offer at Key
Stage 3 and they will be able to study them for longer.
The Director of Studies and the Year Leader work closely
together to prepare the students for the choices that they
make and there is also an Information Evening for parents.
We have a vibrant Sixth Form at Pudsey Grangefield School
and when our students reach Year 11 we interview them
all individually to discuss their future plans and how we
can best support them to achieve their goals. The Year 11
Director of Studies and Year Leader are heavily involved
in this process, as are our Sixth Form team. Parents are
also kept fully informed via information evenings.
As a result we have an excellent record of ensuring
that all of our students embark on the right career
path for them either as part of our vibrant Sixth Form,
by ensuring they gain their desired place at college,
securing an apprenticeship or gaining employment.

Sixth Form, please see our website).
