In the lower secondary (year 7-9) we teach in disciplines and colleagues work closely together to make interdisciplinary connections. At Landmark the syllabus for the individual subjects is developed by the teachers to best suit the student needs, ensure the curriculum is relevant to events that are occurring in the world around them and prepare them for the next steps in their education. As a candidate school for the IB MYP we do this using the IBMYP framework, which is a conceptual, contextual and inquiry based approach to learning. We develop the content of our curriculum by using resources such as the national curriculum, BEST and White Rose Maths. In addition to the more traditional subjects we enrich learning through a number of additional classes such as STEM and a range of optional courses including coding, philosophy and environmental leadership in which students are provided with choice around what they learn.
In the upper secondary (year 10 and 11) students work towards CAIE IGCSE, JCQ GCSE and ASDAN Level 2 qualifications. We support our students in finding the best combination of subjects for them and over the first few years of the school IGCSEs have been taken in a wide range of subjects including:
English language
English literature

Triple and double science
Astronomy
