Progression through Matravers


All students at Matravers follow a broad and balanced “outstanding” curriculum specifically designed to maximise the progress that every student makes. Matravers operates a fortnightly timetable of 50 one- hour lessons which gives a weekly teaching time of 25 hours for the compulsory curriculum.


During Key Stage 3 (Years 7 to 9) all students study a traditional curriculum including English, Mathematics, Sciences, Technology, Computing, Humanities (History, Geography and Religious Education), French, Physical Education, the Expressive and Performing Arts (Art, Dance, Drama & Music) and Personal Social Health and Economic (PSHE) Education & Citizenship. Setting occurs in a number of subjects to support individual student progression.


During Key Stage 4 (Years 10 and 11) every student follows a common core of English, Mathematics and Sciences. Students also study Physical Education and Personal, Social,


Health and Economic (PSHE) Education & Citizenship. In addition to these core subjects, students have the opportunity to choose from different pathways. These Pathways are regularly reviewed and we work with students and parents to provide the best advice and guidance in relation to this.


As an 11 - 18 school we offer full progression from Year 7 all the way through to Sixth Form. At Key Stage 5 we offer a vast range of subjects that incorporate both academic and vocational study. There are many opportunities for additional study beyond the curriculum as we develop our students and prepare them for life and study beyond school.
