Curriculum

At Knole Academy we have a curriculum that meets the needs of our students in preparing them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life.

The curriculum is delivered at key Stage 3 (years 7-9) through core, foundation and enrichment subjects. At key stage 4 (years 10-11) the academy offers a broad range of option subjects with the facility to follow an academic or a vocational route or a mix of the two. At this key stage the students take four option subjects. At key stage 5 (years 12-13+) the academy offers progression for its students onto AS/A2 courses at level 3 as well as level 2 vocational courses. In year 12 students opt for four AS courses or one level 2 course.

From September 2012, Knole Academy will incorporate a Grammar Stream into its structure for incoming students to cater for the top 25% ability range of students with a priority given to those who have passed the 11+ examination. The academy will also offer triple science at key stage 4.
