Our Education in Key Stage 3

Science

In Key Stage 3, the science curriculum deepens students' understanding of scientific principles across various disciplines, including biology, chemistry, and physics. Students engage in more complex experiments and investigations, exploring topics such as ecosystems, chemical reactions, and the laws of motion, enhancing their analytical and practical skills.

English Reading

During this stage, students continue to develop their reading comprehension skills by analyzing a wider range of texts, including literature, non-fiction, and poetry. They learn to interpret themes, characters, and the author’s intent, while also expanding their vocabulary and critical thinking abilities.

English Grammar, Punctuation, and Spelling

In Key Stage 3, students advance their knowledge of grammar and punctuation rules, focusing on more sophisticated writing techniques. They practice writing essays, reports, and creative pieces while honing their spelling skills and refining their writing style to convey ideas more effectively.

Mathematics

The mathematics curriculum at this level introduces students to more advanced concepts, including algebra, geometry, and statistics. Students develop their problem-solving skills through practical applications, exploring equations, geometric proofs, and data analysis, which prepares them for higher-level mathematics in subsequent years.
