Curriculum Overview
Key Stage 3 (KS3)
In Years 7-8 we work to build the foundation knowledge, understanding and skills which will lead to personal and academic success. Please click on the KS3 Curriculum Map to access full information.
Key Stage 4 (KS4)
In Years 9, 10 and 11 students will study a core curriculum of English Language and English Literature, Mathematics, Science, Geography, History and a modern foreign language. The language studied will be either French or Spanish (depending on what has been studied at KS3) and students study both History and Geography in Year 9. In addition to the core curriculum students are required to study three further subjects and may choose these from the following options..
Option subjects on offer are: Art, Business Studies, Computer Science, Dance, Drama, Food Preparation and Nutrition, Music, PE, DT: Product Design, Religious Studies, Sociology and DT: Textiles.
Key Stage 5 (KS5)
Every Year 12 student embarks on a Personalised Learning Programme after choosing 3 or 4 A Levels (or a mix of BTEC and 1 or 2 A Levels) for the two year duration in Rosebery Sixth Form. This is the Core of a student’s curriculum. Assistance is provided in making these choices during the Sixth Form Interviews held by Senior Staff members during Year 11.
A rich and diverse programme of Personal Development Curriculum (PDC) is delivered to all Year 12 and 13 students. This is supported by weekly Assemblies. Themes for PDC include: Teenage Mental Health, Self Defence, University Finance, Health & Fitness and Radicalisation.
Beyond this, our Sixth Form offers extra-curricular activities such as; Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award, Young Enterprise, Community Sports Leaders Award, School Productions, Sports Teams, Music groups for bands, orchestra and choir etc. and we are also fortunate to offer locations for quiet study in our Sixth Form Centre, as well as a bespoke Coffee Bar and Common Room for relaxation and social activity.
