KS3 Rotation

Year 7 and Year 8

Hours per week: 2

Students complete two cycles of our Key Stage 3 Rotation throughout their time in Year 7 and 8. Students will usually remain with the same class in each year, but move between different teachers to experience a variety of subjects.

Included in our rotation are:

This block is a hands-on approach to exploring the world of science, engineering, and technology. Students learn the science and engineering behind products and have the opportunity to design, make, and test their own.
