We aim to provide a broad and balanced curriculum for each of our students.
The school day is divided into 6 lessons of 50 minutes each, with a combination of single and double lesson allocations.
At KS3, which is a 3 year programme, all students study RE, Art, Computing, DT, Drama, English, Geography, History, Maths, MFL (French/Spanish), Music, PE, Science.
At the end of year 9, following parent and student information sessions, students are guided into a Key Stage 4 Pathway, each of these is designed to best meet the learning needs and choices of each student.
Teaching and learning does not just occur between
8:30 am – 3:30 pm; it continues…..
after school in Homework Club
with a range of interventions, personalised
depending on student need
with support from our Learning Mentor, Mrs Lacey,
our Academic Mentor and our School Counsellor.
With added subject area support and clubs

Assessment at Key stage 3
The new National curriculum introduced in September 2014 replaces ‘levels’ with
assessment based on a student making ‘age related expected progress’:
Terminology Explanation
Developing Working toward national expectations for the student’s age
Secure Achieving national expectations for the student’s age
Exceeding The student is working above their age related expectation.
A student entering St. Anne’s with a year 6 Level 4 SATs result is Secure; below Level 4
is Developing and a Level 5 or above is Exceeding.
Students making progress throughout Key Stage 3 may well remain within the same
attainment band as the work in each band becomes broader and more
challenging in line with age related expectations.
