Curriculum KJS 2023-2024
Knowledge – ‘Curriculum KJS’ provides students with an exciting curriculum that is both inspiring and carves a clear pathway into students’ future career choices. Our curriculum is designed to meet a range of key principles:
- We offer a broad and balanced curriculum, with a three-year Key Stage 3, followed by a two-year Key Stage 4, that is accessible to all students
- We provide opportunities for all students to develop the academic skills and knowledge, together with the personal qualities, required for success in adult life
- We develop students’ prospects through a range of spiritual, moral, social and cultural opportunities
- We provide clear pathway routes for students in Year 9 to pursue subjects that have a close link to their future career path
Journey – Our students’ journey is one in which they experience high quality delivery of a carefully mapped out curriculum, which has strong academic values at its core. This journey is founded upon some key principles:
- We pay careful attention to the delivery and sequencing of knowledge and skills and provide students with clear progression throughout the Key Stages
- Our subject specialist staff deliver high quality lessons
- We aim to provide an exciting range of curricular and enrichment opportunities and experiences, beyond the classroom, that allow our students to thrive.
Success - Our curriculum aims are to ensure strong outcomes from a variety of pathways which are accessible to all of our students. These pathways provide a wide range of knowledge and skills that help prepare our students for the global economy. This success has some key principles at its heart:
- An all-inclusive KS4 programme to provide the opportunity for students to achieve appropriate qualifications, including a KS4 offer that has the EBacc at its heart
- To ensure that all students are able to thrive and develop into physically and mentally healthy individuals
- We aim to ensure that students succeed, providing them with key opportunities to be nurtured, challenged and stretched, whilst developing a strength of character that will help them overcome the challenges they are likely to encounter in adult life
- We provide a range of opportunities for students to explore post 16 and career options which will help them to succeed in the next stage of their education, training or employment
