Curriculum

At RAP we intend to inspire curiosity and provide abundant opportunities to obtain knowledge and understanding so that students acquire meaningful functional literacy and numeracy skills, become lifelong learners, are able to ask for help when needed and are able to make informed choices.

We aim to equip students with the attitudes and skills to become successful citizens so that they know how to keep themselves safe, have healthy friendships and relationships, are able to regulate their own behaviour and can express themselves clearly and coherently.

We strive to ensure students gain qualifications that are relevant and for their future aspirations so that they achieve their full academic potential, understand the options available for their future, are ready to seek employment and are able to manage their finances.

Key Stage 3
In Years 7 to 9 students study the following subjects: English, Mathematics, Science, D&T, History, Geography, Food Technology, Art and PSHE.

Key Stage 4

For students permanently excluded from school during Key Stage 4 every attempt is made to put in place a bespoke timetable so that they can continue on study programme they have started, though this is not always possible.

Art (GCSE/BTEC)
