The curriculum at Kelvin Hall provides our students with the opportunity to achieve academic excellence, to develop an appreciation of culture and cultural diversity, and to participate actively in life with a respect for themselves, the local community, the wider world, and the global environment.

 

Our curriculum is designed to give every student the platform they need to go on to study at college, Sixth Form, or to go into training when they leave school. We work hard to ensure that every child, whatever their ability, achieves their full potential through a broad and balanced curriculum.

Our RSE/PSHE policy can be found here.

"Parents have the right to request that their child be withdrawn from some or all of sex education delivered as part of statutory RSE, [...] except in exceptional circumstances, the school should respect the parents' request to withdraw the child, up to and until three terms before the child turns 16. After that point, if the child wishes to receive sex education rather than be withdrawn, the school should make arrangements to provide the child with sex education during one of those terms" - DfE Guidance, pages 17-18

​

Should parents wish to discuss withdrawing their child from Sex Education, they are advised to contact the Subject Leader of PSHE, Mrs Conway, to discuss this further.

 

Choices

​

Pupils complete their studies by choosing from a range of subjects to gain further GCSE or vocational qualifications.

These courses are challenging and develop valuable skills in communication, leadership, teamwork, problem-solving, business awareness and entrepreneurship. This range of subjects not only stimulates and interests pupils during their Key Stage Four studies, but will also give them the foundation they need to make their own career or educational choices when they leave Kelvin Hall School.
