YEAR 7 CURRICULUM
The GST Curriculum
The Griffin Schools Trust (GST) is a family of primary and secondary schools in the Midlands and the South East of England. We are committed to providing an outstanding independent-style education for all students, predicated on breadth and excellence. All schools provide a rich programme of free extra-curricular activities, create an involving and stimulating physical environment and build a staff team of interesting people who are motivated to advance their own knowledge and skills as well as their pupilsā achievement.
Ā GST schools do not teach young people to know their place, but rather to discover their talents and passions and to take their places in society, making a difference through leadership and service wherever their futures may take them.
The Year 7 Curriculum at Nicholas Chamberlaine School
As a proud member of Griffin Schools Trust, Nicholas Chamberlaine School offers students in Year 7 a rich, varied and engaging curriculum.
We maintain a strong focus on English, mathematics and science, which is reflected in the timetable allocations for these three core subjects. However, our students also experience a range of practical and creative subjects including design technology, art, music and drama every week. This balanced approach in Year 7 ensures they develop as individuals, with a range of strengths and talents. Most importantly, the Year 7 curriculum contains real challenge and rigour, building on their primary education to establish and embed the academic foundations that our students will need to go on to success at GCSE, A-Level and University.
