A Look at Our Curriculum

Core Curriculum for Years 10-11

In their pivotal years of 10 and 11, students at our college dive into an array of subjects that set them up for success in higher education and beyond. Covering nine (I)GCSEs is standard, with a core curriculum that includes English Language, English Literature, Mathematics, and Science. There’s an added feature: students are organized by ability for English and Mathematics, ensuring personalized attention. But the choices don’t end there; learners also select from six additional subjects, with the administration advocating for a language, a humanities course, and a creative arts subject, promoting a well-rounded education.

Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)

Our youngest learners engage with the British National Curriculum’s EYFS framework, sparking holistic development across seven learning domains. Here, emphasis is placed on strong Chinese language foundations while maintaining English as the primary mode of instruction, with the added benefit of Cantonese and Mandarin support. This ensures our students are well-prepared from the very start.

Curriculum for Year 7-9

For students in Years 7 to 9, our curriculum stretches wide, offering subjects designed to pique interests and inspire enthusiasm. This includes everything from the sciences and languages to arts and physical education. Ability setting in key areas like English, Mathematics, and Science helps tailor support where needed. For those needing that extra bit of support, our Learning Support team is on hand with additional literacy help.

International Study Centre (ISC)

For students with English as an additional language, the International Study Centre (ISC) within our school is dedicated to easing their integration. With a customized curriculum, the ISC bridges the gap, helping international students flourish in the mainstream school environment.

Beyond the Classroom

What makes our curriculum special is the personalization. With learning spread over a two-week cycle, each subject gets the attention it deserves. Students with specific educational needs, as well as our gifted learners, find support and opportunities to excel. Plus, our co-curricular activities enrich the learning experience well beyond the textbook.
