At Gartree High School we deliver an intelligently planned, broad, balanced, challenging and inclusive curriculum that meets the needs of our ambitious school community. Alongside this, we offer a comprehensive, wide reaching and rich co- and extra-curricular programme. Throughout their time at Gartree High School, students will develop subject specific knowledge and skills, making accelerated academic progress, as well as gaining a wide range of essential life skills, including communication skills, self-confidence, independence, leadership, teamwork and personal organisation. A unique strength of our curriculum is the careful balance between academic excellence and the development of broader skills, delivered within a supportive environment by talented and committed teachers and support staff.

​

Subject specific curricula are based on the National Curriculum and have been carefully designed so that there is progression throughout Key Stages 3 and 4, with concepts intelligently sequenced to ensure that curriculum content is systematically revisited and build upon over time. All subject specific curricula are relevant – providing local and global context where appropriate, are regularly updated and improved, develop cross-curricular links wherever possible, and reflect the diversity of our school community. Students’ progress is assessed throughout the year using a variety of different approaches with attainment grades reported to parents at the end of each term.

​

As well as developing subject specific knowledge and skills, our curriculum fosters creativity, develops problem-solving skills, facilitates students’ social, moral, spiritual and cultural understanding, and promotes the development of fundamental British values. High quality careers education is delivered both within the curriculum and through a bespoke careers programme, which includes one-to-one careers guidance, work experience, and a variety of careers and post-16 events throughout Key Stages 3 and 4.

​

At Gartree High School, students have an enormous number of opportunities open to them, from the wide range of subjects that we offer, to the huge number of co- and extra-curricular activities, events, visits and trips available. We aim to create an environment where all students, regardless of their background, can develop both academically and personally within a supportive school community.
