Reigate School Curriculum

Curriculum Intent

Our school curriculum is designed to inspire and challenge all of our children and prepare them for their future. Our aim is to teach a broad and balanced curriculum that equips children:

  • for further education and employment.
  • to become responsible citizens who make a positive contribution to society.
  • to live safe, healthy and fulfilling lives.

We are dedicated to providing all children with a broad and balanced curriculum. Throughout Key Stage 3 (KS3) substantial time is given to foundation subjects such as Geography, History, French, Spanish, Religious Education, Physical Education, Design Technology, Drama, Dance, Music, Computing and Food. As children progress into Key Stage 4 they all continue to study English, Mathematics, Science, Life Skills, Physical Education, Humanities and Modern Foreign Languages. This ensures their curriculum remains broad and balanced throughout all their time at Reigate School, not just within KS3. 

At Reigate School we follow a three-year Key Stage 4 (KS4) curriculum.  This enables our children to start their KS4 subjects in Year 9 and provides additional time to extend lesson content and ideas. It also provides Year 9 children with the opportunity to work alongside peers that share similar passions. We are also dedicated to ensuring all children have the opportunity to reach their full potential, therefore following research-based evidence the majority of teaching is conducted in mixed ability groupings.

Upon choosing their Options at the start of Year 9 all children will study the core subjects of English (Language and Literature), Mathematics, Science (double or triple), Life Skills, Core PE. They will also continue with their Modern Foreign Language (French/Spanish) and either History or Geography, alongside two option subjects.
