Curriculum and exams

Your child does not have to follow the National Curriculum and sit SATs. Should you wish to follow the National Curriculum, information can be found online at via the Department for Education. (Link to site)

This website contains the statutory programmes of study and attainment targets for key stages 1 to 4 in England. It also includes exemplification of national standards in foundation subjects.

Exams

There is no requirement for you to enter your child for any tests or examinations.

For an older child, you may wish to consider their need for qualifications, for example at GCSE, IGCSE or GNVQ part one. About half of 16 year olds are expected to gain 5 or more GCSEs at A-C grades. We are unable to access any funding to support with exam costs.
