KEY STAGE 3 - Years 8-10
All pupils follow broadly based courses in subjects which contribute to the Areas of Study within the Northern Ireland Curriculum. English, Mathematics, Geography, History, Home Economics, French, Spanish, Science, Technology and Design, Art and Design, Music, Physical Education, Religious Education Learning for Life and Work (LLW) and Drama. (Year 8 pupils are timetabled for Information Technology).
In Year 8 pupils are placed in broad ability bands, with primary school assessment being used to identify a small group of pupils for whom assistance will be necessary, particularly in English and Mathematics.
In Years 9 and 10 pupils are allocated to classes based on the results of school assessment; the top two classes also study Spanish as a second modern language during these two years. The system permits pupils to move across the ability bands depending on their progress and aptitude.
