Roedean's year 7, 8 and 9 curriculum
Our curriculum motivates our girls to develop a genuine love of learning. With excellent facilities and inspired teaching, our staff work hard to ensure that every student has just what she needs to succeed. Each student has a tutor to monitor her academic work and progress.
Our girls learn in small, friendly classes to build their confidence. We include cross-curricular work and ensure the girls develop good research and study habits through project work and trips out of school. Year 7, 8 and 9 subjects include:
- Art
- Biology
- Chemistry
- Classical Studies
- Dance
- Design Technology
- Drama
- English
- French
- Geography
- German or Spanish
- History
- Home Economics
- ICT
- Latin
- Mathematics
- Music
- Physics
- PSHE
- Religious Studies
- Sport
Our lower school curriculum is supported by trips outside school to put classroom learning into practice.
In the second half of Year 9, the girls consider which GCSE/IGCSE subjects they will take in Year 10. They are guided in these decisions by their tutors. We send parents detailed information about the GCSE/IGCSE programmes, so that they can provide additional insight and help their daughters in the selection process.
