KEY STAGE 3 CURRICULUM

KEY STAGE 3

CURRICULUM 2020-2021

The curriculum at Clapton Girls’ Academy rests on our core values of compassion, ambition, integrity and resilience. We want our students to leave the Academy empowered with the knowledge, skills and qualities to meet their potential to excel and thrive in the 21st Century. We recognise that every student has different needs and our diverse curriculum offers challenging academic and vocational opportunities.

Our curriculum respects and reflects the different backgrounds and experiences of our students and equips them with a deep, broad and powerful foundation of knowledge that prepares them not only for academia but also to fully engage as global citizens. We maintain high standards of literacy and numeracy across the curriculum as these are skills for life. Alongside the traditional curriculum, we equip students to become confident, informed members of society through enriching Careers and PSHCE programmes.

In the following pages you will find information about the curriculum content of each subject. There is also guidance from teachers to help you support your daughter at home with her study. Extra-curricular clubs related to subjects have also been included to demonstrate the opportunities on offer to students who would like to pursue their academic interests outside of the classroom.

During Year 9, students decide which subjects they wish to study at Key Stage 4. Further information about this process and the subjects on offer are available on our website.

During Key Stage 4, all students study English Language, English Literature, Maths, Science, Religion & Philosophy (R&P) and choose three further subjects. This is apart from a very small number of students who will follow our ‘ambition’ pathway: a programme of foundation level courses. Further information is available on the curriculum pages of our website.
