At Goffs-Churchgate Academy the KS3 curriculum is taught over two years, Year 7 and 8. In planning the KS3 curriculum we aim to:
- Ensure that learning is challenging, engaging and enjoyable
- Build on what children have been learning in Primary school
- Help our students to develop the skills and understanding they will need for KS4 study and for adult life
Throughout Year 8, students will undergo the GCSE Options process where they will pick their courses for Key Stage 4.
