Amazing curriculum<br />
With 17 subjects taught in Year 7 we believe we have a<br />
curriculum second to none. Alongside the important subjects<br />
of Mathematics and English we teach Biology, Chemistry and<br />
Physics as separate sciences from Year 7. We have an amazing<br />
range of humanities at Key Stage 4 including Psychology,<br />
Sociology, Economics and Politics alongside History,<br />
Geography, Philosophy and Ethics taught in Year 7. We teach<br />
Art, Music and Drama as well as a special Artsbox course. We<br />
teach Computer Science, Design Technology, Food Technology<br />
and an exciting project to build a computer. We teach French,<br />
German and Spanish in the school as well as Physical <strong>Ed</strong>ucation<br />
and Dance.<br />
Academic Excellence<br />
Last year 80% of all GCSE grades were Grade 4 and above<br />
and students achieved a record 151 Grade 9s. Our Attainment 8<br />
was 49 which is above national average. Our results have been<br />
strong for many years with the school always having a strong<br />
positive Progress 8 (most recent, in 2019, was +0.26 which<br />
means students at <strong>King</strong> <strong>Ed</strong>ward VI School, achieve well above<br />
national rates of progress).<br />
Great learning<br />
Learning is at the heart of everything we do and to make<br />
this happen we invest heavily in teaching. We have great<br />
teachers at the school and train up many new teachers<br />
every year working with Cambridge University to get<br />
the very best people in front of our students. We value<br />
deep subject knowledge and have three teachers with<br />
PhDs. We work tirelessly to provide exciting learning<br />
experiences on a daily basis, delivered with inspirational<br />
and research-based teaching methods. We want your<br />
child to love coming to school and love learning.
