Students in Key Stage three study a range of topics in order to ensure a broad coverage of fiction and non fiction reading and writing, as well as speaking and listening. Achievement and attainment is tracked across the key stage using APP (Assessing Pupil Progress), which also allows us to identify students’ areas of strength, as well as areas which may need further focus and development, allowing us to implement intervention strategies as and where needed.
