Key Stage 3

Key Stage 3 is the first three years of Secondary schooling, for students aged between 11 and 13 and comprises three distinct year groups; Year 7, 8 and 9. Like all other Key Stages and phases in the school, in KS3 we teach a traditional British curriculum adapted for an international context.

We recognise entering Key Stage 3 is a pivotal moment in a child’s school life. To ensure this transition process is seamless, during Term 3 in Year 6, we start to engage learners in early content ranging from teacher introductions to question and answer opportunities, as well as secondary taster lessons. This enables learners to feel more confident and familiar with the secondary environment early on.

The curriculum in Key Stage 3 is designed to facilitate learners to grow independently, with the presence of hard work and perseverance. Curriculum content across all subjects frequently links to International GCSE standards to prepare learners for choosing their options and beginning the courses upon moving into Key Stage 4.
