Our curriculum map
Our core curriculum is organised by faculty, and each faculty teaches subjects.
Our faculties, and the subjects they teach, are here.
The subjects are available in detail here.
This page is under development and will include detail on our behaviour curriculum, our personal development curriculum, our cross-curricular themes, our super-curriculum and our extra-curricular activities.
The sections below indicate the proportion of curriculum time allocated to each subject area, out of a 50 period, 1 hour per period per fortnight timetable, however if what you wish to know is not obvious from these links, please click here.
