National Curriculum


S.R.I.S. is committed to delivering The National Curriculum and is registered with the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA). Since its inception in the mid-eighties, The National Curriculum in the U.K. has been developed and refined and is now accepted as a bench mark in school curriculum planning.


Emphasising as it does,
a core curriculum through Years 1 - 9 inclusive (5 - 14 year olds) together with the Key Stage Tests at ages 7, 11 and 14 makes it a rigorous and disciplined scheme of work which makes schools accountable to their students and to the parents.


The league tables which are connected with the key stage testing have a value added loading and have also become more acceptable and more meaningful in educational terms.


We allow for some degree of specialisation at Key Stage 4 i.e. Years 10 and 11, whilst encouraging students to maintain a breadth of subjects. Such a breadth is important in keeping options open at the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme.
