Transcript Core Curriculum - King Arthur's Community School


‘There is a rich and impressive range of courses on
offer for older students which match their interests
and needs. There is a very strong curriculum focus
on employability skills and this is raising
achievement across all groups of students. Link
courses with local colleges and BTEC courses in
school are an integral part of the framework of
choice. As a result, almost all Year 11 students
remained in education after they left school.’
