Senior Curriculum

At Abbotsholme, our aim is to instil a love of learning in our pupils by nurturing inquisitive minds and recognising the individual talents of each and every pupil.

In the classroom, all pupils are encouraged to strive for their best, challenge themselves, and learn from their mistakes. We promote resilience and pupils are challenged beyond their comfort zones. With small class sizes, specialist teachers provide high levels of individual attention, allowing them to build strong repour with their pupils. Teachers engage pupils in a variety of ways which suit individual learning styles, offer clear steps for improvement and technology is harnessed to aid effective learning.

Curriculum

The curriculum in Senior School not only develops key skills but also broadens horizons. As pupils progress through school, their pathways are tailored to ensure maximum success for their future. Our Learning Skills team provides additional support and challenges pupils at every stage of their learning and development.

We celebrate the strengths and individuality of each pupil, harness their abilities, and allow them to flourish. Our goal is to foster a lifelong love of learning, believing that pupils learn best when they are happy and actively engaged in their education. Our teachers inspire this love of learning and cultivate curiosity.

A vital aspect of our nurturing approach is providing the right level of challenge. We instil confidence in our pupils, encouraging them to be ambitious, determined, and independent as they discover their potential. Rather than pushing our pupils, we guide them to drive their own learning.

Our academic programme promotes challenge through innovative and creative lessons, aiming to inspire self-reliance and a growth mindset. Resilience and self-confidence are developed by dedicated and enthusiastic teachers who create a supportive learning environment that challenges each pupil’s academic and personal growth.

At Abbotsholme, pupils become independent, inquisitive, and work enthusiastically toward achieving their goals. For more information on the courses available to take during GCSE, please see below:
