Le Rocquier School’s Teaching and Learning Policy has these six key principles:

By following these key principles, we expect all students to leave Le Rocquier School with the qualifications they need to access the next level of their education, training or employment. Most students will gain 9 level 2 qualifications, while some will follow a more bespoke curriculum catering for additional learning needs. With support from highly skilled staff, we expect students to achieve positive value added scores across all subjects, showing they have made expected or higher progress over time.

In Key Stage 3 (Years 7 to 9) most students study the following subjects. Click each subject below to go to a page that shows the curriculum they study, how your child is assessed and how you can support your child to achieve their best.

A small number of students, who may have additional learning needs, will follow an adapted or bespoke curriculum pathway based on the guidance of education professionals. This could mean that they do not access all subjects or that they have additional support lessons for their core skills.

In Key Stage 4 (Years 10 & 11) most students study English Language GCSE, English Literature iGCSE, Maths GCSE and Combined Science – worth 2 GCSEs. They will also study PSHE and Careers as part of their curriculum and take part in PE lessons. Students are also given the chance to study up to 4 option subjects from the following list. 

A small number of students, may be encouraged (through discussion with parents) to follow an adapted or bespoke curriculum pathway. This could mean that they do not access a full suite of GCSEs. Instead this could include alternative qualifications, additional work experience or specific intervention lessons for core skills.

A small number of students will follow a more bespoke programme in Key Stage 4. This is called the Access Curriculum and includes students studying English Language GCSE only, Maths Entry Level Certificate and Science Entry Level Certificate instead of the full GCSE courses. These students will be identified by the Heads of Faculty and SEND staff.

In addition to the KS4 academic curriculum, all students in Years 7 to 11 follow a pastoral curriculum during their form time and take part in House activities once a week.
