Year 9 Curriculum

Year 9 Curriculum

V1

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 which 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.
