Key Stage 3
In Key Stage 3, the work is based on the requirements of the National Curriculum. Although quite prescriptive in the past, we have retained some individual elements of work and as the requirements have become less prescriptive, the lower school curriculum has evolved to take account of these changes and our own preferences. Fieldwork is built into the schemes of work. The pupils have regular tests and a yearly examination.
