• • Our KS4 Curriculum at The Rosewood School

    At The Rosewood School, our Key Stage 4 curriculum is designed to provide continuity, support, and challenge, ensuring all pupils achieve their potential academically, socially, and emotionally. We offer a structured and flexible programme that meets the differing needs of Year 10 and Year 11 learners.

    Year 10 – Short-term and Reintegration-focused
    Year 10 provides a short-term, reintegration-focused programme. Pupils consolidate prior knowledge, close gaps, develop essential skills, and engage in practical and vocational experiences that rebuild confidence, resilience, and independence. They follow a broad curriculum including Maths, English, Science, Criminology, Classics, Citizenship, Health and Fitness, Design Technology, Art, Finance, PSHE/RSE, RE (Kent Agreed Syllabus), PE, IT, alongside discrete reintegration lessons, work experience, and guided social interaction opportunities. These experiences ensure pupils are ready to re-engage with learning, social interaction, and wider school life.

    Year 11 – Longer-term and GCSE-focused
    Year 11 is designed to provide a longer-term pathway, helping pupils achieve success in their GCSEs and prepare for post-16 options. Pupils follow core subjects of Maths, English, Science, PE, PSHE/RSE, RE (Kent agreed syllabus), Art, Health & Fitness, Citizenship alongside an option block where they can choose from Triple Science, Psychology, Business Enterprise, or English Literature. This personalised programme allows pupils to focus on areas of strength and interest, while continuing to build essential skills for independence, resilience, and success.

    Beyond the Classroom
    Across KS4, pupils engage in Beyond the Classroom sessions where local businesses and community partners help develop entrepreneurial, problem-solving, and real-world skills, further preparing them for life beyond school.

    Every element of our curriculum is designed to close gaps, extend knowledge, and nurture curiosity, while supporting health and wellbeing and fostering the social skills pupils need for reintegration and future success.
