Y8 into 9 Applied Learning Options
An underpinning principle of the curriculum at Crawshaw is that it will develop confident, self-motivated and determined young people with the knowledge, skills and qualities needed for successful lives. Experiencing success and developing independent learning skills and resilience, to equip our students for further/higher education and employment, is a key element of our STRIVE philosophy.
We run a 3 Year Key Stage 3 curriculum which follows the National Curriculum. Students in Year 9 opt to study one subject from the applied option block. These courses are aligned with our whole school curriculum intent in supporting students to become work ready, providing students an opportunity to experience ‘new’ subjects such as Business, Media and Photography. This approach to Key Stage 3 means that we can teach a broad curriculum for as long as possible and allow students to specialise and deepen knowledge of a subject that interests them and prepares them for the world of work.
