Curricular Enrichment: Key Stage Three

• All Key Stage Three pupils follow a planned programme of Personal and Social Education.
• All Key Stage Three pupils follow a structured programme in Information Technology. In addition groups of Year 10 pupils take an examination in Information Technology (C.C.I.T.).
• Some Key Stage Three pupils (Year 10) take up Spanish as a third language to widen their choice of GCSE subjects in Years 11 and 12.
• Modules of Library Skills/Careers Education/Drugs Education sessions are delivered throughout the Key Stage. These are used to support the Educational Themes outlined in the Northern Ireland Curriculum.
• In Key Stage Three a system of broad banding is operated. This ensures that very able pupils undertake challenging programmes of study and facilitates the full development of every pupil.

All pupils now take the CCEA Statutory Assessment tests in English, Maths and Science at the end of this Key Stage. Year 10 pupils are then issued with their level of achievement in these three subjects.
