Senior School Curriculum

Senior School Curriculum

The curriculum at Kingsley is structured to maximise progress and make our students future-ready, building on each student’s prior learning to encourage creativity, intellectual curiosity and independence.

Our students make excellent academic progress on their journey through the Senior School, with the vast majority achieving a full range of fantastic results, furnishing them with the knowledge and skills required for their post-16 studies.

We follow a wide and varied curriculum that inspires students to challenge themselves in a range of disciplines, including science, technology, creative arts, humanities, performing arts and modern foreign languages. Alongside the full range of academic subjects, an extended curriculum looks to incorporate Discovery and Future-focused Education. This includes dedicated lessons in leadership, teamwork, creativity, Artificial Intelligence, entrepreneurship and outdoor education, all of which are vital elements of a successful curriculum fit for the future. Our Round Square membership enables us to fully develop these elements through collaboration with a range of schools across the globe in both virtual and in-person projects.

This is supplemented by a wide and varied programme in PE and games, with all students having a games afternoon and a core PE lesson, in addition to a range of available co-curricular offerings.

At GCSE, our curriculum provides opportunities for students to study examinations in the core subjects of English, mathematics and the three separate Sciences, as well as further options in a wide range of GCSEs and vocational qualifications.
