Academic Year 2020-2021 Year 8 Curriculum
Year 8 Curriculum The long term curriculum plans present an overview of the topics covered each half term. They also provide information on the nature of the assessments and offer suggestions on extra resources that can be used to support learning. It is important to emphasise that these plans are working documents and departments actively use them as a guide to plan the teaching and assessments throughout the year. However, departments are also flexible enough to respond to the needs of the learners. In addition to the curricula for the individual academic subjects outlined in the following pages, students in Year 8 also have one lesson of PSHE, two lessons of PE and three lessons of Games per week.
