Curriculum The curriculum is the sum total of all the learning experiences offered to pupils while at school.

The curriculum at Rumney High School is taught through the medium of English

Our aim is to offer each pupil a broad, balanced relevant and coherent learning experience that will provide a foundation on which they can build their future lives. Emphasis is placed on the children working to the very best of their ability in groups suitable to their level of attainment.

The National Curriculum is now in place for all subjects.

Key Stage 3 (Years 7 - 9)

During the first three years all pupils will study the following subjects : English, Mathematics, Science, History, Geography, Welsh, French, Technology, Art, Music, Religious Education and Physical Education. Personal and Social Education permeates all areas of the curriculum and subjects such as Drama are used to enhance other subject delivery as well as occupying a timetable in its own right. Information Technology will be used in subject deliveries.

Key Stage 4 (Years 10 - 11)

In the fourth and fifth years, all pupils study : English, Mathematics, Science, Welsh, Religious Education, Physical Education. and Careers Guidance. A Modern Language is offered for the majority of pupils. A large number of other subjects are offered as options and these are indicated on page 6. Again Information Technology will be used in subject deliveries and pupils may choose to specialise in this subject as one of their options. Personal and Social Education will permeate all subjects taught.

All courses offered to the pupils lead to GCSE, COEA or other appropriate
