SIXTH FORM

The School curriculum follows the principles of the National Curriculum. Modifications to the National Curriculum Programmes of Study may exist in some subject areas if Heads of Department consider it appropriate.

Details of the curriculum are provided in a separate policy document.

The School curriculum aims:

• to be balanced, broadly based and contribute effectively to the intellectual, physical and personal attainment and development of all pupils across the full age and ability range
• to prepare pupils for the next stage of education, training or employment and to provide the skills needed for life long learning
• to provide continuity and progression from one Key Stage to the next
• to provide equality of access and opportunity for all pupils
• to meet the requirements of all those pupils who need special provision including very able pupils, and those for whom English is an additional language
• to be enriched by extra-curricular activities
• to be supported by an effective system of tutoring
