Curriculum
A rich and varied curriculum that inspires and engages students is the most important thing a school can offer.
At Prendergast Ladywell School we have thought carefully about our curriculum across the school and have made number of changes and refinements to improve it.
Our curriculum provides both the breadth to allow students to experience a variety of subject areas, but also the depth, particularly in the core skills of literacy and numeracy, that allow students a strong academic foundation upon which to build their skills.
You can explore our curriculum offer in more depth by subject area by using the drop down list. Please see our Curriculum Faculty Statement: curriculum-at-prendergast-ladywell-school
We encourage and support students to make a positive contribution to our community and British society, now and in their future lives. We have a rich and balanced pastoral programme which actively promotes the development of character through SMSC, Wellbeing, Anti-Racism, and embedding British values in their lives. We believe that students should have access to meaningful opportunities to understand how to be responsible, respectful, active citizens who contribute positively to society.
Students at Prendergast Ladywell School follow a three-year Key Stage 3 curriculum. This will mean that options will be taken in Year 9 for GCSE courses.
Further details of all subjects can be found on our subjects pages
