Curriculum
CURRICULUM PATTERN 2011/12
Our timetable consists of 50 one-hour lessons each fortnight. We are committed to offering subjects which challenge students intellectually - we do not follow a curriculum that simply gives points to schools but does not prepare students for the demands of adulthood.
