King's Foundation Curriculum
Students in Years 7-8 complete the King’s Foundation Programme of Study, a 28 hour weekly curriculum, aligned to the English Baccalaureate and other GCSE programmes of study, which begins more formally from Year 9. We believe it is essential that all pupils acquire a competent grasp of English, Mathematics, Science, a Modern Foreign Language, History, Geography, Philosophy and Public Speaking. Each of these subjects are taught in the morning session as part of the ‘Academic Arc’ alongside our award winning ASPIRE character programme. Creative, Physical and Leadership subjects such as Programming, Art, Music, Drama, Physical Education and CMI Leadership are taught every afternoon within the ‘Creative Arc’.
