Curriculum
The curriculum at St. Peter’s has been designed to ensure all students develop academically, spiritually, morally, socially and physically. As part of the curriculum the government expects schools to promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs. As a Catholic school, St. Peter’s embeds those values through its ethos and mission statement, which extends to all activities in school, within and outside the taught curriculum.
Independent Advice and Guidance (IAG) interviews are provided to all students in Y8-13 appropriate to the stage and age of students. These interviews are to ensure that students make informed choices at every stage and are in a position to make the next step into further or higher education, apprenticeships or employment.
In years 7, 8 and 9, all students study the statutory National Curriculum subjects; Mathematics, English, Science, MFL, Geography, History, Art and Design, Design Technology, Music and Citizenship in addition to the non-statutory subjects Drama, Religious Education, Personal Development and Computing/ ICT. In Year 9, students begin GCSE courses in Mathematics, Science, RE and English but are not examined in any of these subjects until Year 11.
The government has introduced new GCSEs which are being phased in over the next two years. These changes will affect any student currently in Y9 or below. Further information about these can be found at the bottom of the page.
In years 10 and 11, all students continue to follow a core programme of Mathematics, English Language and English Literature, Religious Education, Science, PE and Personal Development and Citizenship. In Y11 Science GCSEs are offered in Biology, Chemistry and Physics, as well as Core Science and Additional Science. For students currently in 10 GCSEs in Biology, Chemistry and Physics will be offered in addition to Combined Science, worth 2 GCSEs.
In Year 10, students have a number of optional subjects they can choose, details of these are in the KS4 Options booklet. Current government policy strongly supports the EBacc curriculum and has an expectation that every child starting their GCSEs in 2018 and beyond should be studying EBacc subjects. The EBacc measure has been in place since 2011 and all students at St. Peter’s have always been given the opportunity to study the EBacc curriculum. Further information about the EBacc can be found further down the page.
At GCSE the modern foreign languages available to choose from are French, German and Spanish. Students have the opportunity to choose two languages if they wish to do so. Geography and History are offered in all of the option blocks so students may opt to study both humanities subjects if they wish to. Other GCSE subject choices available are Art & Design, Business Studies, Drama, Computer Science, Cooking and Catering, Health & Social Care, History, Media Studies, Music, PE, Psychology, Product Design-Resistant Materials, Produce Design-Textiles, Sociology.
Work experience is a vital part of Key Stage 4. It gives students an insight into the world of work and can help to influence post –16 choices and career plans. For students studying applied GCSE’s, it can help to reinforce learning and directly influence coursework. All Year 10 pupils spend a week taking part in Work Experience. Placements vary a great deal and have included experiences in the Army, offices, nurseries and schools, theatres, engineering companies, catering, journalism, archaeology, the RAF, banking, travel agencies and so on.
A wide range of A Level subjects are offered at St. Peter’s Sixth Form, details of the courses offered are in the KS5 Pathways booklet. Students wishing to come to St. Peter’s who would like to study subjects we do not currently offer may be able to by arrangement with other local providers (please speak to Mrs Crees for further information and advice). From 2016 students will opt to study three or four A Levels over two years. All students will study the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) as part of their religious and vocational education. Students can choose from a range of enrichment activities, such as supporting in KS3 lessons, paired reading, peer media/uploadstion or they may opt to do PE as an alternative. Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education and Citizenship are key topics covered during tutorial periods. Like GCSEs, A Levels are currently being reformed. These changes started in September 2015 and are being phased in. Further information about the new A Level qualifications and the timeline for the introduction of reformed subjects is available via the links at the foot of the page. For more information about the curriculum at each Key Stage, please follow the relevant links from the main menu. If you require further information, please contact the School.
The English Baccalaureate (EBacc) is not a qualification in itself but will recognise pupils’ achievements across a core of selected academic subjects. The English Baccalaureate indicator shows the percentage of pupils at the end of Year 11 achieving GCSEs at grades A*-C in all elements of the EBacc academic subjects.
| EBacc core academic element | A*-C requirement to pass EBacc element |
|---|---|
| English | GCSE English (Language) or GCSE English Literature |
| Mathematics | GCSE Mathematics |
| Science | GCSE Combined Science or two of GCSE Biology GCSE Chemistry GCSE Physics GCSE Computer Science |
| Humanities | GCSE Geography or GCSE History |
| A modern foreign language** | GCSE French or GCSE German or GCSE Spanish |
Current government policy strongly supports the EBacc curriculum and has an expectation that every child starting their GCSEs in 2018 and beyond should be studying EBacc subjects. The EBacc measure has been in place since 2011 and all students at St. Peter’s have always been given the opportunity to study the EBacc curriculum.
** Other modern foreign languages count towards EBacc but only French, German and Spanish are offered as taught courses at St. Peter’s. If students are fluent in speaking and writing a language other than English and could take a GCSE, please contact the School to make enquiries.
