About the Curriculum
Hinchley Wood School works hard to create a rich and stimulating curriculum and in particular seeks to:
- promote a caring and positive learning environment.
- be inclusive and meet individual needs
- promote students’ personal development and well being in lessons, extra curricular activities and through the personal, social and health education programme.
- promote equality of opportunity and positive attitudes towards all members of the community.
- develop individual’s communication and performance skills as well as enhance their critical and creative thinking skills.
- enable students to develop the skills to be independent learners in a diverse world
We deliver the Key Stage 3 Curriculum in Years 7-9 with students studying a broad range of subjects before they begin their Key Stage 4 GCSE choices in Year 10. Our Sixth Form curriculum offers A ‘level subjects as well as enrichment and student leadership opportunities. The school operates a two week timetable. Homework is set according to each subject requirement.
