Curriculum Overview

Curriculum The Year 7 curriculum has been carefully designed to ensure that students enjoy learning, make clear progress and achieve their full potential. Our subject leads have worked in collaboration with their peers in KS2 to ensure their topics and skills build effectively on prior knowledge and avoid unnecessary repetition. They have taken time to ensure every lesson focuses on building subject specific vocabulary, modelling skills and then allowing pupils the freedom to apply knowledge with growing confidence.

Although we are only at the start of their secondary journey, thoughtful planning means the skills that students gather leaves them fully prepared for the next stage. This booklet is a guide to the curriculum your child will study during Year 7. It gives an overview of all the content covered for each of the subjects that they study, allowing you to help them plan their studies and think how you can support beyond school. We hope you find the information useful and it underpins the first part of our partnership to ensure your child flourishes when they arrive at St. Benedict’s Catholic High School.

"Peace builds bridges, whereas hatred is the builder of walls. You must decide, in life: either I will make bridges, or I will make walls" Pope Francis
