Curriculum Subjects

Cranbourne has a well-balanced curriculum; diverse, enriching, with choice for all, enabling all students to gain a strong suite of qualifications to take them into Post-16 education or training.

We regard the curriculum as the totality of the experience of the child. Our flexible approach includes a traditional academic focus, as well as vocational courses and well-taught skills for life, considering the socio-economic context of our local economy. We aim to open new doors, without closing off future pathways and create inspiring opportunities leading our students on a journey of self-discovery.

Our Key Stage 3 Cranbourne+ curriculum is the intellectual powerhouse that embeds the skills and knowledge and develops application so our students are ready for the demands of Key Stage 4.

The variety of subjects available to students at Key Stage 4 is rich and wide and students go through two options processes to ensure they can make the best decision possible for Year 10 and Year 11. Subjects such as Photography, Health & Social Care, Hair & Beauty, Film Studies, Sport, Horticulture and Business Studies provide students with the chance to select a bespoke pathway that suits their needs and aspirations.

There are several complementary elements which enable every student to develop a love of learning, grow and mature, which nurtures driven and self-sufficient learners. Find out more by reading the Curriculum Statement of Principles below.
