Support for pupils with SEN is offered on an individual basis, all pupils are allocated a key worker and will have termly reviews with them.

At KS3 (years 7-9) pupils will all study a broad range of subjects, this includes English, maths, science, geography, RE, PE, technology (including IT), creative studies and environmental studies. Environmental studies includes aspects of forest schools, agriculture and animal care as well as more traditional environmental science and sustainability.

At KS4 (years 10-11) pupils will complete a mixture of GCSE and vocational courses, this will include GCSEs in English, maths, science and geography, a BTEC in Enterprise and some optional subjects, this includes one land based option that they will study at South Staffs College.

We will be continuing to operate a secondary model with pupils moving to subject specialists for each lesson. We are a very small secondary school with only two buildings so pupils will often not need to move far between lessons and will quickly learn their way around the school site.

Secondary Model =  Pupils moving around to different teachers and classes.

Primary Model = Pupils are with their class teacher for the majority of lessons.

We aren’t planning on any building works, pupils who wish to study A-levels are now able to access a range of options at the sixth form at Wolgarston High School, this gives the school the capacity to increase the number of pupils at KS3.
