The subject content that is taught in Y7 can be found below. It builds upon the skills, knowledge and understanding already developed at primary school.

Our curriculum, however, is much broader and attempts to help young people develop the skills and attributes we believe are crucial for a happy, productive and successful life in society. An overview of our skills based curriculum can be found here, and is based on 4 broad areas: Self awareness; Emotional intelligence; Self motivation and Learning power.
