The total curriculum is divided into key stages. At BISAK, we presently offer the first 4 key stages, together with the foundation stage:-
- Foundation stage: pre-school + reception
- Key stage 1: year 1 and 2
- Key stage 2: years 3 to 6
- Key stage 3: years 7 to 9
- Key stage 4: year 10
In the Foundation Stage, Key Stage1 and Key Stage 2 the class teacher is responsible for much of the teaching; several subjects are, however, taught by specialist teachers.
In Key Stage 3 ( and Key Stage 4 in due course) all subjects are specialist taught.
The Key Stage 4 curriculum will be divided between a compulsary element, comprising English, Mathematics, Science and ICT together with an optional section selected by students from a range of subjects.
