Crestwood CurriculumPutting in place the appropriate curriculum for each child is vital if they areto achieve their best. The curriculum at Crestwood is recognised by Ofstedas being broad and balanced and focuses on those subjects that we believeare most important.Key Stage 3: Years 7 - 8InYears 7 and 8 students spend a significant amount of time studying English and Mathematics.We believe that these subjects are vital in developing skills students need in other subjectsand for life outside and beyond school. On entering the school students are taught in amixture of form groups or sets. Core subjects such as Mathematics, English and Science havelearning sets in Year 7 and teaching by ability increases so that students are placed in groupsthat match their learning needs.During Years 7 - 8 students study the following subjects: English Geography ICT Mathematics Religious Education Textiles Resistant Materials Science Art Product DesignModern Foreign Languages Music Food Drama Computing History PSHEPhysical Education & GamesYear 9Our flexible curriculum in Year 9 is designed to maximise the opportunities for our students.Dependent on individual abilities, some students will begin GCSE’s in Information andCommunicationTechnology, BTEC Sport and Film Studies. Gifted andTalented Mathematicianswill begin their GCSE in Mathematics and students with an aptitude for Science will beencouraged to study for three separate Science qualifications in Physics, Chemistry andBiology.During the Spring Term, parents and students work with staff to make the choice of subjectsthat will be followed during Years 10 and 11, at Key Stage 4.6 Prospectus 2017-2018
