KEY STAGE 4 CURRICULUM

KEY STAGE 4 CURRICULUM 2020

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

We want you to have a deep, broad and powerful foundation of knowledge that prepares you 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 you to become confident, informed members of society through enriching careers and PSHCE programmes.

The government focus is now on students achieving 8 good grades as well as making good progress in a wide range of subjects at the end of Key Stage 4. Our curriculum offer ensures that this is possible for all students.

This booklet explains the curriculum for Years 10 and 11. It contains information on the subjects that everyone studies as well as the three preference subjects that students select.
