Curriculum
We are lucky to have wonderfully skilled and innovative staff.
In Key Stage 3, all students at Limehurst study English (Language and Literature), Mathematics, Science (Chemistry, Physics and Biology), PE, Music, Food Technology, Resistant Materials, Textiles, Art, Modern Foreign Languages (French, German and Spanish), History, Geography, Religious Studies, ICT and Personal Development.
Our Key Stage 4 Curriculum consists of a core offer of English, Mathematics, Science, PE and Personal Development. In addition, the school offers a very wide range of options choices. This range would include all of the subjects mentioned above, as well as other additional courses. These courses would be a mixture of GCSE and other qualifications, in both academic and vocational subjects.
Some universities are now asking for entrants to have gained the English Baccalaureate, and we are able to deliver this to all students for whom it is appropriate.
For those with English as an Additional Language, we also encourage and support youngsters to gain accreditation in their home language.
The day-to-day curriculum is enriched by a huge number of extra-curricular activities which take place at lunchtime or after school. These activities include sports, dance, music, craft, gardening, board games, homework/study support, and we also have an annual musical production which involves many of our students. We also run many day and residential trips, both in this country and abroad.
