We’re inspired by the rich history of the area. From the stories of migration that have travelled through the former London Docks and shaped our community, through to the pioneering ambition and innovation in the foundations of our school running through Brunel’s subaqueous tunnel. Our curriculum provides an education of possibilities, broad, balanced and rich for all students. It’s a chance for us to think imaginatively about what a great curriculum can look like.
We’re going beyond the parameters of the National Curriculum, with an approach that is representative and inclusive of the lives and experiences of our students. Our curriculum is ambitious, rigorous and knowledge rich, shaping diligent and well-informed students. It’s important that our children recognise their rightful place as global citizens.
We recognise that opportunities beyond the classroom are just as important as the learning that takes place in lessons. We offer students the chance to develop a sense of self as a young person, to decide their place in the world and to articulate their power to achieve. We enrich our students’ lives through our exciting Wonder 7 after school programme, and leadership opportunities such as the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and Model UN, sports – competitive and recreational, residential and overseas trips, outdoor education and our Mulberry STEM Academy, in partnership with Mercedes-Benz Grand Prix Ltd, and Mulberry Production Arts Academy in partnership with the National Theatre and the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.
At Key Stage 3, students study a broad range of subjects. This includes English, Maths, Science, History, Geography, Religious Studies, Physical Education, Art, Design and Technology, Music, Drama, Computing and either French or Spanish.
